If you belong to the planet of health conscious people and love to lose those extra pounds even in winter, then enter the world of
Bikram Yoga. It was established by Bikram Choudhary to bring the wonders of
Yoga from India, its land of origin, to the rest of world. Over a period of time Bikram Yoga has turned into a brand known for its set of selective 26 yoga postures which are performed at a temperature of 40 degree Celsius inside the class.
Whether you are first timer or a pro, these yoga postures are designed to move each muscle of your body and make it more flexible and stronger with each session. So do not hesitate if you have never done yoga in your life. The high temperature of the room makes these
asanas less difficult to perform, as heat penetrates your body and loosens up your muscles. This is the reason why this yoga is also popularly known as
Hot yoga. Same postures are repeated each day in a 90 minute session, so that you learn to perform them with perfection and build upon your concentration and mental strength. If you follow the instructions of the yoga gurus, you can lose up to 250-300 calories in each session.
There are various plans which you can choose, depending upon your liking and pick up the time slots to fit into your schedule. Now you can thaw your body in the crib of Bikram Yoga class and get into shape, even in the biting cold of the city. Detailed information about
class timings and
pricing is provided on the website and if you are still confused then just give them a call and get your queries resolved.
