Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class is a demanding series of 26 postures (asanas) and two breathing exercises (pranayamas) practiced in a heated room, which is suitable for all ages and levels of ability. Each posture stretches and strengthens specific muscles, ligaments, and joints needed for the next posture.
The Bikram method also stimulates the organs, glands and nerves, moving fresh oxygenated blood to 100% of the body, restoring all systems to a healthy working order. Bikram scientifically designed this vigorous 90-minute program to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body in order to prevent illness, injury and limit the effects of aging.
In addition, the series of postures combines skills of concentration, patience, determination and self-control, leading to increased mental clarity and reduced stress. |
Your health and the health of your baby is of the utmost importance. We advise our expectant moms to consult with their physician prior to practicing Bikram Yoga during pregnancy. It is important that you tell your instructors as soon as possible so we can educate and assist you during your pregnancy.
For a first time pregnancy, it’s best to avoid any new form of exercise.
If you are a regular Bikram Yoga Practitioner for more than a year, you can continue your practice following Rajashree's Pregnancy Yoga.
