Who is Bikram Choudhury?

Bikram Choudhury began practicing Yoga at the age of 4. His physical fitness guru was Bishnu Ghosh, brother of Paramahansa Yogananda. Bikram and his wife Rajashree run the Yoga College of India International Headquarters in Los Angeles, California. All new Bikram Yoga instructors attend the college to complete a rigorous 10 week training course before receiving certification.   Together, they also travel the world lecturing, demonstrating, and holding workshops on the unique and powerful therapeutic hatha yoga method.

Why does Bikram Yoga use a heated room?
  • Allows for deeper stretching because the muscles, fascia, and connective tissue are more elastic.
  • Warm temperatures allow for greater range of motion in the joints.
  • Reduced chance of injury because muscles are warmed up.
  • Stretching warm muscles burns fat more efficiently.
  • Capillaries dilate, which increase oxygen flow to cells and promotes waste removal.
  • Promotes toxic release via the sweat through the body's largest eliminative organ, the skin.
