About Bikram's Yoga
 
Bikram yoga is an incredible workout that not only works your body, but your mind and your soul. Bikram yoga is a form of hatha yoga designed by Bikram Choudhury. It is "a twenty-six asana series designed to scientifically warm and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons in the order in which they should be stretched." Bikram yoga is practiced in a heated room, usually up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The heated room allows your muscles to warm up quickly and stretch safely. So, even if you don't think you're very flexible, you'll be amazed how quickly your body will become more flexible and stronger with the heat and the postures. Your progress in Bikram yoga "will depend entirely on you -- upon your natural ability to a small extent, but mostly upon the honest time and effort you give to Yoga. It will have little to do with how 'perfectly' you can do the poses. (Few of us ever do the poses 'perfectly.') Instead, it will have to do with how well you understand what you are trying to accomplish in each pose, how honestly you try to accomplish your goal, and how supple your muscles and joints have become in comparison to the point at which you began. In Yoga there is no standard of comparison except yourself. Perfect is the best you can do that day."
