BIKRAM YOGA IS NOW ON OUR SCHEDULE

So the news is out !! Ive decided to teach and introduce Bikram Yoga to our portfolio of classes and styles . Many inquiries , too many disappointed inquirers , so I yogi'd up and did what needed to be done . What is Bikram Yoga ?

Bikram Yoga / Hot , 26 postures repeated twice , systematically move fresh, oxygenated blood to one hundred per cent of your body, to each organ and fibre, 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.
The Beginning Yoga Class is a twenty-six asana series designed to scientifically warm and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons, in the order in which they should be stretched.

Next week will feature only Bikram classes with me , to give you a feel and experience of this very popular practice . Thereafter it will become a permanent fixture with a guaranteed minimum of 2 classes per week ie 1 x morning and 1 x evening alternating days every week . We will listen to your feed back and add more if the demand is high enough. All the other styles we teach will still remain as normal , just blended in .

Bikram Yoga is generally practiced in studios at approx 42 degrees , we will use our current heating methods and practice at approx 25 degrees. Also please note Bikram classes will be 90 minutes long .

I look forward to sharing this new journey with you and hope you all will join me.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF YOGA PRACTICE

Excellent toning of the muscles – Muscles that have become flaccid, weak are stimulated to tone, shed excess flab and flaccidity. But these enormous physical benefits are just a “side effect” of this powerful practice. What yoga does is harmonize the mind with the body and this results in real quantum benefits. It is now an open secret that the will of the mind has enabled people to achieve extraordinary physical feats,proving beyond doubt the mind and body connection.Improved memory, concentration, balance of mind, reduced stress - Yoga through meditation works remarkably to achieve this harmony and helps the mind work in sync with the body.read more
