Bikram Yoga is suitable for any age and all levels of ability.  New students are welcome to attend all classes. Please arrive 15 minutes EARLY for a brief orientation and to read our Welcome Letter. What to wear:  Light, comfortable, breathable clothing; for example, running shorts for men and women and sports bra or tank top for women.  Its best to avoid heavy, cotton clothing such as sweats and even long pants. Come on empty stomach and well hydrated! What to bring:  Yoga mat (not padded), large towel, hand towel, bottled water.  We rent and sell all items needed. What to expect:  90minute class consisting of a 50- minute standing series and 40- minute floor series.  Each posture builds on the last and prepares for the next; therefore, plan to stay for the entire class.  Each posture is done two times in order to gain better internal understanding and allows for deeper connection in the second set.  Basically, you can expect to receive your cardio workout, muscle toning & strengthening, stress relief and meditation in every class, every time. Why the heat?  The room is heated to 108 degrees in order to promote sweating, which actually prevents you from overheating.  Training your body to sweat effectively encourages the release toxins and impurities.  The heat allows for deeper stretching without injury.  The heat increases heart rate for better cardiovascular functioning and burns fat more efficiently. Develop a regular and consistent practice! This is the golden rule to receiving the most from your yoga practice.  It is recommended to do at least 10 classes in 30 days.  The more you practice, the quicker you will reach your goals and the more you will understand what is going on.  Please take at least 3 classes before deciding if this is the right path for you.  Your third class will be dramatically different from your first and will allow you a clearer assessment.
