Beware! You just might fall in love with Bikram Yoga your first day! I did!
-
Bikram Yoga is beginner’s yoga. Everyone welcome. Bikram yoga was designed for Westerners with bad backs and bad knees and junk bodies. That’s you! BIkram yoga is a 26 posture series practiced in a heated room. In the beginning, a student may feel all kinds of horrible things, headaches, tired, sore, sick…… all bad stuff and toxins coming out of the body. Over time, these symptoms go away and you feel light and amazing. You just have to get through the bad to get to the good. Don’t be scarred!
-
Choose a time that is convenient for you. Commit to a regular practice. Once a week, twice a week, everyday, do what you can on a regular basis. You want to kick ass regularly, then practice regularly.
-
Do not eat at least 2 hours before class unless you are super hungry! Then eat lightly so you can bend forward and try to touch your toes!
-
New students arrive 20 minutes prior to class to complete a registration form. Doors locked during class so get here on time!
-
Booking are not required. The more the better as we thrive on group energy! Bring a smile and leave your worries at the door!
-
Bikram Yoga is practiced in 40 degrees room! Thank God!! We finally get to be warm in this cold place!! Be happy!
-
No Shoes in the studio please.
-
No perfume, oils, moisturizer or make-up to be worn during class. Make-up ends up in your eyes, up your nose and in your mouth! Yuck! Smells, smell. No smells please, nice or otherwise! No jewelery or watches, don’t need them. Time will pass no matter what.
-
Please wear comfortable, light clothing (shorts and small top). Don’t be shy. We’re not!
-
Please tell us of any injuries, big or small. We are here to advise and help.

Please turn your phone off
-
Only water is allowed in the yoga room. No lattes or martinis! Please come well hydrated and be prepared to sweat!
-
No talking in yoga room, we do enough for everyone!
-
Bikram Yoga is about group energy! We stay in the hot yoga room together and suffer together (no sneaking out!) Respect the others kicking ass by being present with them even if you are sitting down. No one is here to judge you. Trust me, no one has the energy to judge you while they are upside down and twisted in a knot! Get over yourselves! Do 1% right and you will get all the medical benefits.
-
If you feel nauseous, dizzy or overwhelmed throughout the class, Congratualtions! You have done everything right! Think you can run a marathon on the first day? Just listen to us, your teachers, and we will guide you through your torture session. Not to worry, soon you will be kicking butt. Just listen carefully and never say, “can’t!”
-
When the class has finished, please leave quietly. You can laugh, giggle, swoon and die after class. Chances are, you’ll feel like a million bucks! Go tell the world you can touch your toes!
Come in with an open mind, leave with an open heart!
