Bikram's Beginning Yoga, the original hot yoga, is a unique 90 minute series of 26 postures, including 2 breathing exercises, performed in a specially heated room. Each posture stretches and strengthens specific muscles, ligaments and joints stimulating the organs, glands and nerves to move fresh oxygenated blood to 100% of the body. With regular practice, Bikram Yoga improves health, increases energy, helps prevent illness and injury and limits the effects of aging. As a physical challenge, the Bikram yoga changes the body’s shape, helps you to develop muscle tone and lose inches. As a mental challenge, this system combines the skills of concentration, patience and self-control to improve mental clarity and reduce stress. BYSJ welcomes all first time yoga students and regular practitioners!
