Bikram Yoga is a style of yoga that is also commonly referred to as Hot Yoga. Bikram Yoga was developed by a man named Bikram Choudhury and has origins in the Yoga College of India in Mumbai, India. Bikram Yoga’s popularity has grown in the mainstream quite a bit since the late twentieth century. What sets Bikram yoga apart from other styles of yoga practice is the fact that Bikram yoga is practiced in a room of at least 105 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity of around 40-percent. A specific dialogue, including two different breathing exercises, and twenty-six postures, guides the Bikram yoga class. A Bikram yoga course typically lasts around ninety minutes, and involves students from all practice levels, ages, body types and walks of life. Bikram Yoga is a type of beginner yoga, which means that practically anyone can enjoy it with little to no experience.
Bikram Choudhury, who calls himself the Yogi to the Stars, currently resides in Beverly Hills. He teaches at the Yoga College of India both in Los Angeles and in Calcutta, India as well. There are other locations that he teaches at as well, including San Francisco, London, Paris and even Tokyo. Choudhury has also released a book titled Bikram’s Beginning Yoga Class, which teaches an easy sequence of twenty six different yoga postures which are also known as asana. The book also teaches Bikram’s two breathing exercise as part of the Bikram Yoga practice.
The following is a list of the twenty six asana that are taught in a Bikram Yoga class:
