What is Bikram Yoga
Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 poses and 2 breathing exercises, suitable for all ages and levels of ability. Each posture stretches, strengthens and prepares specific muscles, ligaments, and joints needed for the next posture. The Bikram method also stimulates the organs, glands, and nerves, moving fresh oxygenated blood to 100 percent of the body, restoring all systems to a healthy working order. Bikram scientifically designed this 90 minute program to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body in order to prevent illness, injury, promote weight loss, and limit the effects of aging. Bikram Yoga is done in a heated room to warm your muscles, prevent injury, allow a deeper workout and cleanse the body by flushing toxins.

“Never too late, never too old, never too bad, and never too sick to do this yoga and start from scratch again”.

- Bikram Choudhury

Time Practicing Bikram Yoga:
Exactly one year as of mid-February 2003.

Bikram’s begining yoga class has been, for me, a “Godsend”, pure and simple. Simply put, I feel like a different person. The day that I happened to walk into my first hot yoga studio on the recommendation of a friend, I was struggling with fatigue and plagued by embarrassing memory slips in my high school Spanish classes. In addition I was struggling with uncharacteristic mood swings and a ravenous appetite as an effect of taking oral chemotherapy following a diagnosis of breast cancer and two lumpectomies. Despite a costly vitamin habit and a regular meditation practice, the stress of high school teaching and going on few hours of sleep for several years had taken their toll. My concern was compounded by the fact that my beloved husband has Multiple Sclerosis, hence, we are very much dependent upon the income received from teaching. Our future seemed anyones guess! One has to experience the amazing restorative effects of Bikrams Beginning Yoga Class to appreciate its power to transform a person at virtually every level! After a year of practice, from 3 to 6 days a week,I feel like a new person. Not only has my energy level soared, but I find my cheerful nature has returned, my appetite has become regulated, my body has re-distributed its fat to more desirable spots. In general, as long as I continue to attend class regularly, I feel not only that everything is working right, I feel in radiant health. I jokingly tell my friends that thanks to my yoga practice I have become a specimen. But the truth is, I usually dont have to say anything they themselves comment upon the change that they see in me! Our teachers are the gift which has no price. To me, all of the Bikram trained teachers whom I have encountered are like the different planes of a vast prism. While the class is the same, each teacher brings some fresh inspiration or insight which expands our understanding of the spiritual path. I see my teachers at Bikram Yoga RVC as young in years and old in wisdom. What inspiration I have received from the dedication, discipline, compassion, sweetness, humor, wisdom, steadfastness, tranquility, energy and knowledge of Yolanda Solla.
