| | | | What is Bikram Yoga?
 Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises brought to the U.S. by Bikram Choudhury in the 1970's. Bikram's guru Bishnu Gosh, the brother of Parmahansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi), taught Bikram hatha yoga as practiced in India for 4,000 years. Bikram developed his series as the most effective way to reach a wide range of people of varied health and age.
| Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class is 90 minutes and practiced in a studio heated to 105 degrees with humidity. The heat facilitates deeper stretching, injury prevention, and better circulation. It systematically stimulates and restores health to every muscle, joint and organ of the body, down to the cellular level. Practicing Bikram Yoga works the cardiovascular system while building strength and flexibility. In addition to strengthening the body, Bikram Yoga helps strengthen the five aspects of the mind – Faith, Self-Control, Determination, Concentration, and Patience. |  Bikram famously says, "Never too late, too old, too bad, too sick, to start from scratch and begin again." This yoga is for everyone! Why not begin your yoga journey today? Use the classfinder at www.bikramyoga.com to find a studio near you. | Olympic Hopeful
The ultimate goal of the annual Yoga Asana Championships is to make yoga an Olympic sport for the XXXI Olympics in 2016. Yoga is already practiced in many parts of world. As part of the Olympics, yoga would reach an even broader audience, opening people's eyes and minds to its many benefits. | Yoga ... Not Just for Grown-Ups
Getting kids involved in yoga is an important part of the wider goal of universal yoga practice. Kids have an advantage many of us don't: they start out flexible! Their bodies are free from the stress and injuries that age can bring. Think of the next generation of yogis… realizing the benefits of yoga without all the years of junk bodies! | Joseph has volunteered his time giving presentations, demonstrations, and classes to kids in the hope of achieving this goal. He has worked with at-risk kids and sexually abused kids - the gift of yoga is beneficial to all! |
