Bikram's Yoga, also known as Hot Yoga, or "Fire Yoga" is a style of yoga developed by Bikram Choudhury and a Los Angeles, California based company.[1] Bikram Yoga is ideally practiced in a room heated to 105°F (40.5°C) with a humidity of 40%. Classes are guided by specific dialogue including 26 postures and two breathing exercises. Classes last approximately 90 minutes. Beginners may take Bikram's yoga classes.
Choudhury lives in Beverly Hills and teaches at his self-founded Bikram's Yoga College of India in Los Angeles. Before emigrating to the United States, Bikram was trained at the Bishnu Ghosh school in Calcutta, India.[2] Bikram holds a U.S. copyright on his yoga, and yoga instructors must undergo a training and certification process to teach it.[3] Bikram has over 500 studios throughout the world, and there are still new studios opening up regularly.[4]
The class I have been taking is just 60 minutes Power Yoga which is a flow class. I prefer that style of yoga versus holding poses for a certain length of time. It's just a personal preference.
