If you have ever stepped foot into a Bikram class before you know that there are 26 postures

and 2 sets of breathing exercises. Each class is 90 minutes and if you are taking from Bikram

himself you may be there for much longer.


This little comprehensive "What About Bikram Yoga A-Z" is a quick guide to familiarize yourself

with the yoga, its benefits, the scandal, and the man himself.

Check check... Ready to rock and roll?....

A. Albeit a rapist, Bikram's yoga series is still the most comprehensive and effective method

for creating optimal cellular function and healing for the WHOLE BODY. Bones to skin.

Fingertips to toes.

B. Bikram isn't a rapist to everybody. Just some.

C. Concentration and endurance are developed through eye gaze and determination in the

mirror.

D. Dead cells must be removed so that new cells can thrive. Trust the process.

E. Everything is energy. Activation begins with breath and connects the mind-body to the

field.

F. Fahrenheit 105 and humidity 40%

G. Grab a second outfit to change into for after. You'll thank me later.

H. Human beings are all the same in that we have a human body. Get to know it.

I. Information from the body gets released into your consciousness as you start to slow down and relax after action.

J. Just because you took one class does not mean you've done Bikram yoga. Take a

minimum of 10 classes, then you've tried it.

K. Kill yourself for 90 minutes. It's the prescription for healing.

L. Love is the highest vibration. When you practice in love you activate the highest level of consciousness.

M. Money. We are all after it. Some are after Bikram's.

N. Nobody ever pushed you harder in your life than you did in class.

O. Open eyes. It's all about the focus. Where your eyes go your body follows.

P. Pray. When you think you're going to die. Pray.

Q. Quantum physical anatomy is revealed through the activation of breath within each and every cell in the body.

R. Relax sweetheart. It's only 90 minutes. You can do anything.

S. Sit down when you feel dizzy. Get back up when you're ready.

T. Try one more time. Never give up. That is the key.

U. Understanding this sequence requires the realization that the body is not a bunch of

separate pieces put together in random order. There is no separation of the mind and the body

like western medicine tells us. It is a blatant lie. There is only disconnection.

V. Vindication is a strange thing. Usually takes the form of monetary retribution or social deviance labeling, or both.

W. When you don't feel like going to class and you make it anyways, you have won the day.

X. X-rated. You know that's Bikram's mouth. There was a time and a place for his style until there wasn't.

Y. You will see and feel your body change in one sequence, in 90 minutes or less. For some as early as the breathing exercise.

​​Z. Zico coconut water. It can be a lifesaver
