Well, its given us several Yoga pose rules, some common yoga asanas, and for me, the most important thing I have learned from Yoga, the concept of Yoga is that we are all living our life for the better, and as long as we are alive on this earth, it is our duty to seek as much peace and enlightenment and goodness on this planet, as we can.
What is Bikram Yoga?
Bikram Yoga is a style of yoga taught by Bikram Choudhury, the founder of the American Bikram Yoga Federation. Bikram Yoga has been practiced worldwide for over 30 years by thousands of people. It originated with a yoga course taught by Bikram Choudhury in the basement of a hotel in Los Angeles in 1976. Bikram Yoga is a hot yoga yoga style. The temperature of Bikram Yoga varies widely. There is a variation for beginners, one called Bikram Hot Yoga 1, which is a sequence of 16 different yoga poses taught over 28 days. During this course, one temperature is worked. Bikram Yoga 2 and 3 are temperature variations, as well as numerous different yoga poses at various temperatures. These variations are of extreme difficulty.
Back in the 1970s, Bikram Choudhury (a four-time Yoga Champion of India) created a series of poses for amateur yogis. Since Bikram developed his practice, hundreds of Bikram yoga centers have cropped up around the world, from Serbia to San Francisco. Regardless of location, each sweaty 90-minute class features the same series of postures, such as the half moon and the Standingbow. According to the Bikram Official website, the heat helps sweat out toxins, stretch muscles, and improve circulation throughout the body.That being said, Bikram Yoga has been practiced by tens of thousands of people in more than 1,000 countries, and if done properly, in the right place, at the right time, Bikram Yoga may be the greatest gift you could give to yourself and those who are lucky enough to spend a few days practicing it with you.
The first step to learning Bikram Yoga is to decide to go for it. Taking a Bikram Yoga class is much like taking a hot yoga class, except you are practicing more yoga poses at a faster pace. One problem that many of us find is that once we decide to do yoga, it takes us time to get up to speed, to build up enough motivation to go to yoga. On top of that, we feel guilty taking time out for ourselves, we feel like we are lazy or we don’t have the time to go. I think that the best way to avoid the negativity of taking time out for yourself is to do what the majority of the world does. You do what you have to, even if that means going to bed early, or just getting a massage, or buying some new yoga clothes. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time out of your day to find the right exercise for you.
Below is a list of things that you may or may not know, but should at least know about Bikram Yoga:
The real name of the class. It is named after Bikram Choudhury, the founder of the American Bikram Yoga Federation. He changed the spelling of Bikram Yoga because of the popularity of the name “Bikram” in the western world.
The real name of the teacher. The teacher is called a Dharma Teacher.
Hot yoga classes have extremely hot temperatures. Usually 150-200 degrees or above. Some hot yoga classes, however, can reach a heat between 140-160 degrees.
There is a correction technique called Shirokonasana. This is also the name of the posture that is typically corrected. In some of the hot yoga classes, the correction may be repeated 3 or more times before a person is corrected. If a person is not corrected properly, they will know, and the teacher will immediately correct them. However, in hot yoga classes, correction will only be made once.
Be aware that if a correction happens, it can be pretty intense and overwhelming for a person. It is a very physically painful experience. This is a true fact. There have been many injuries that have occurred because of this correction.
In all hot yoga classes, correction will usually take place 2-3 times before the person is corrected, so if a correction is required, it can be excruciating for the person.
There are many different teaching styles in Bikram Yoga. The main teaching styles are Aikido, Yoga, yoga, and vinyasa.
In Bikram Yoga 2 and 3, the teacher will say the yoga poses instead of calling them by their names. It may seem confusing, but when done correctly, it is actually more beneficial for a person to do the yoga poses by their real names. I have noticed in hot yoga classes that the Yoga classes sometimes seem like more of a class than a yoga class. The yoga is definitely not that exciting.
In hot yoga, the correction is much shorter than the corrections in Bikram Yoga 3 and 4. As long as the correction is done properly, the correction should not be hard to take.
If you ever take a Bikram Yoga class, you will see many people in poses with no yoga skills. For example, people will bend over backwards, with a flat back or no balance in their legs. A good technique to show someone this, is to just walk backwards a few steps and show them that the person in the pose is bending over, and bending over backwards, even if they don’t know it. In fact, many of the poses that look awkward can actually be mastered through regular yoga practices.
People will use yoga props in hot yoga classes. Some yoga props include rope belts, yoga mats, towel bars, a small bench for props, and a variety of yoga blocks.
People in hot yoga classes also use hot yoga clothes and yoga clothes that they already have in their closet, as yoga clothes in hot yoga.
There are many different kinds of yoga clothes in hot yoga classes. People wear yoga clothes that fit and cover the entire body, and yoga clothes that only cover part of the body. There is also one style of yoga clothes that are made of cotton, but are very thin. This is often called the “cheap yoga clothing”.
