Bikram Yoga Poses

Bikram Yoga poses consist of 26 groups of postures (known as Asanas). By doing these yoga poses, one can exercise and invigorate all of the body by stimulating its glands, nerves, and organs and by improving circulation of oxygen throughout the body. Before you do any of these poses, please consider the following:

– The most important part of Bikram Yoga is to continuously focus on breathing calmly
– Beginners may need weeks or even years of practice before their bodies can move completely into many of the poses
– Practicing in front of a mirror is recommended because several steps involve using a mirror
– For extra safety and comfort, make sure to use a high quality Yoga mat while practicing
– The standing poses warm up the body, and the floor poses squeeze, stretch, and twist various parts of the body
– To support the spine during all twisting poses, keep the abdominal muscles engaged
– Ideally, you will perform these poses in a room with an average temperature of 107 Fahrenheit; however if this isn’t possible, a somewhat cooler room will do just fine
