Bikram Yoga for Fitness

Anyone tried Bikram Yoga?

I heard it's the hottest thing for getting in shape and get rid of toxins. This yoga but in a room with raised temperature, so you realy sweat your a** off. :)


I am trying to find a center where i can take classes in LI or Brooklyn. Can anyone recomend a place?

Re: Bikram Yoga for Fitness

I have taken these classes and they are HARD! When they say you sweat...you are literally POURING SWEAT....

You have to make sure to be hydrated before and after....It's a great workout...

This place is great!

Hatha yoga is a very gentle, flowing style of yoga that focuses on deep breathing and is almost meditative in quality.

It's different from the more 'active' styles of yoga, like Bikram and Iyengar, which move you through each pose faster. Bikram yoga is also known as 'hot yoga' and is done in a heated room....120 degrees!! Yeeks. The heat is supposed to relax the muscles more, allowing you to be more flexible, and also to make you sweat out the toxins in your system.


wow. thanks.
which would be most recomended for a beginner? or someone who just wants to learn to really relax?

Re: Bikram Yoga for Fitness

The room is heated intentionally to allow you to work deeper and safer and to warm your muscles. The heat also heals, helps prevent injuries and promotes sweating which flushes toxins out of your system.

Re: Bikram Yoga for Fitness

This type of Yoga is amazing. I did it once, had for the first time in my life had NO back pain for a week. The day before I was going to take another class I found out I was prego and was not allowed to it anymore. I am starting again this week It is great!!

Re: Bikram Yoga for Fitness

good stuff!!

I took few yoga classes at a local Bally's, but looking for something more professional. Then I saw Bikram Yoga done on Queer Eye, and Jessica Simpson swears by it.

I cant find anything in Brooklyn, so next best thing is to treck into the city. It will suck to be all sweaty and heeted up on the train, LOL.
