about bikram yoga

The Bikram series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises will help you realign your body. The postures are completed in a specific order, suitable for all levels and adapted from the original 84 Hatha Yoga postures. Every posture prepares you for the next; every following posture gains from the previous.

You will enjoy improved posture and mobility, better concentration, boosted energy, increased strength and flexibility, decreased stress, alleviation of pain, regulated blood pressure, and an overall sense of well being.

Our studio at Bikram Yoga Commercial Drive is heated to 104°F (40°C) to help loosen your joints and improve the elasticity of your muscles, allowing for safer and deeper stretching. It also promotes sweating, for an amazing detoxification process. On average, a Bikram Yoga class will burn 945 calories. For real.

Everyone starts the same way. If you are incredibly flexible or can't touch your toes- this yoga is for you. The class is designed for all levels, first timers and experienced yogis alike. Inside and out, bones to skin, fingertips to toes, nothing is left untouched. It's true that class is hard work, but once you finish the first 90 minutes you'll be thinking about your next class.

In time and through regular practice, you will learn to focus your mind and control your breath. You will work harder, go deeper and stay calmer. As you improve this relationship with your body, you'll find the true meaning of yoga: union of the body, mind and spirit. When it comes to our bodies, yoga takes us beyond any boundaries we have set for ourselves.
