In this Bikram Yoga (traditional 90-minute, original hot yoga) class, we explore how a regular Bikram Yoga class is akin to the regular and loving tending of a garden.  Or the regular and attentive maintenance of a car.  *Of course* care and attention are required for a garden, right?  And it is obvious that cars need upkeep, too, right? Why then, in our culture, are we surprised when a lack of ma...

What a blessing to get to try.  Over and over again.   What are we trying?  Simply to concentrate.  We get thousands of chances in every single Bikram Yoga class.   What a blessing to get to try again. We are also trying to simply hold still.   For a while, we fix and fidget and correct and refine.  And that at some point, we are ready for stillness.  Time stops.  And we are simply in the present...

Change is inevitable.  Our bodies and thoughts will change over time. Bikram Yoga is perhaps the best tool available out there to help us not only handle those changes, but also to influence the changes in a positive, healing, rejuvenating direction.

How much time. money, medications, and energy have we spent on trying to feel better?  On trying to achieve happiness? On trying to relieve stress? When looked at from this perspective, Bikram Yoga is the super highway to the things you have been seeking.  90 minutes is such a small investment of time and concentration.  And the rewards you will get are both immediate, and long term. In class toda...

Bikram Yoga long held a reputation for "no modifications". This is simply a misunderstanding plus a bit of ignorance. Every posture is ALWAYS modified!  We modify the depth in all cases, according to the breathing, the sensations in the body, and our understanding in each moment. Here the thing. We do not modify the technique or form of the posture, however, in 99.9% of cases. We almost never give...

So many bikram yoga pracitioners use this practice as their first preventive medical treatment - and in most cases - their first curative medical approach, for chronic or non-urgent situations. Summer started practicing bikram yoga when she was five years old, and now she is about to turn ten!  The Pauly family does triangle pose altogether...what a great Thursday night!

In a bikram yoga class, we are asked to listen to every word from the teacher and to move with the words.  When we try this, we realize pretty quickly that the voice(s) in our heads can be even "louder" than the voice of the teacher! The amazing discipline of choosing (over and over again) to listen to the teacher's voice transports us instantaneously to the present moment! We also learn that our...

In this traditional, 90-minuted Bikram Yoga class, we will focus on the fact that relaxation goes so deeply beyond the muscles.  Relaxing at the level of the nervous system and endocrine system is one of the most important and powerful effects of Bikram Yoga, and it is available at every "skill" level of postures.

Bikram Yoga: The Organ Systems Functions as One Whole.  So when we improve the lungs and respiratory system, we affect the Nervous System, the digestive system, and more.  Getting rid of the false separations within. Concentration Can Only Happen in the Present Moment. This is Veronika's 10-year yoga birthday, and she had a breakthrough in Tree Pose today!  She started practicing at Bikram Yoga Mo...

Bikram Yoga and the True Meaning of Exercise: When did you last exercise your kidneys, your blood vessels, your spleen? "Yoga Anatomy" is Not What You Think: the effects of yoga postures (held in stillness) on the soft tissues of the bodies - we are much more than muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons! In (Bikram) Yoga, what is NOT moving is just as important as what IS moving.  This is the key t...
