How would you describe Bikram Yoga to someone who’s never been?
Bikram Yoga is everything! It’s going to help you change your bad habits and help you put your own health and wellbeing as a priority.
It’s a therapeutic sequence of two breathing exercises and 26 postures performed in a heated room. It’s suitable for every body and is a great leveller, so no matter your background, yours fitness levels, your injuries or your state of mind this practice is for you.

If you’ve never been to the studio before you can sign up with an Intro Pass, £50 for unlimited classes in 30 days.
What are some of the specific benefits of Bikram Yoga?
Sweating helps the body to detoxify and drastically improves circulation. The heat also relaxes muscle tissue enabling deeper stretching which feels more comfortable with less risk of injury. The challenge of the postures in the heated room creates a stronger cardiovascular workout meaning more than double the calorie burn of a usual yoga class. The challenge presented by hot yoga also presents a challenge for the mind which leaves you feeling amazing when you finish a class and helps to build confidence.
Is it suitable for beginners with no previous yoga experience?
Yes absolutely. Bikram is a beginners yoga class. Suitable for every single body. Don’t hesitate, don’t let your injuries or anxiety stop you from making positive changes in your life. Come and visit us today.
