Unique to the Bikram yoga series is the heat and humidity, but also that all poses are always performed in the same way and in the same order in each class. There are many advantages to always repeating the series in this way, one of which is that it becomes easy to see your own progress.

Heat – for increased blood circulation

The idea of ​​the heat is originally to mimic the Indian climate and its beneficial effects on the body, but the heat also has many positive effects on the body. The heat softens muscles and joints, which reduces the risk of injury and makes it easier to stretch. New studies also show that the heat (like a sauna) dilates the peripheral blood vessels and reduces blood pressure. The heat also makes you sweat a lot and the feeling after a session is that you are very clean and that your skin feels like new.

Spiritual or not – you decide

Bikram yoga is a very gentle form of exercise that can be practiced by almost everyone; young or old, sick or healthy, soft or stiff, strong or weak, and beginners or advanced. Everyone trains individually according to their own ability but together in the same class. To get the most out of your yoga training, it is not about how "perfectly" you can perform a yoga movement, but rather about doing the best you can according to your body's ability.

Bikram Yoga is taught in a straightforward and clear way but with instructions that are easy to understand and transform from brain to body. The classes are relatively direct, practical and structured in a more scientific way, which appeals to many. The more “spiritual” aspects of yoga are more subtle and personal. In a Bikram Yoga class, everyone gets a chance to explore at their own pace what spirituality is for them without much talk about it in the classes.
