Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class is a twenty-six asana (posture) series designed to scientifically warm and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons, in the order in which they should be stretched. The class is designed for all levels, first time students and experienced practitioners alike.

Bikram Yoga's twenty-six posture exercises systematically move fresh, richly oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body, to each organ and fiber, restoring all systems to healthy working order, just as Nature intended. Proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health, and a sense of well-being will automatically follow.

How quickly you progress will depend entirely on you -- upon your natural ability to a small extent, but mostly upon the 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 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. To be 'Perfect' in Yoga is to do the best you can do.

To guide you to your ideal pose - how you will eventually be able to do it - Bikram yoga instructors focus on the reality - illuminating the problems you will have as you try to do the pose, providing clues that will help you make rapid progress, and identifying where you might be tempted to "cheat," thus depriving yourself of the benefit of doing the pose properly. By practicing each of the series of twenty-six postures the right way for your body, you enhance mind and body, relax, strengthen, reshape, and heal all of you in 90 minutes.
