Bikram Yoga Calgary

First time students
We are so happy that you have joined us!
Bikram Yoga is a 90-minute class consisting of 26 beginning hatha yoga postures and 2 breathing exercises practiced in a heated room 105 degrees F (40.5 degrees C). Every student has a unique first class experience that will never be forgotten, and we encourage you to be patient with your practice. It takes about 3 to 5 classes to get acclimated to the heat and 10 to 15 classes done within 30 days to reap maximum benefits of Bikram Yoga.
What you'll need:
  • Yoga Mat
  • Bottle of Water
  • Large Towel (Mat and Towel are included in the Intro Offer)
  • Dress in light workout attire, Shorts, Tank Top or T-shirt
Be Prepared!
  • Arrive at least 15 minutes before your first class to register and get comfortable with your surroundings.
  • Drink plenty of water the day you decided to come so that your body will be hydrated and ready to sweat.
  • Don't eat for at least 1 hour before class and avoid anything heavy for 2-3 hours before your practice. A light meal eaten 2 or more hours before your visit to the studio is ideal.
  • Reminder: please leave all valuables at home or in your car as we do not have lockers at this time.
Abandon the competitive mind-set

Yoga is absolutely non-competitive. It is not just a "work-out." It is not just "cross-training." It is a practice, which makes the body stronger, more flexible, and generally healthier. The aim is to calm the mind, open the heart and accelerate our evolution.

Remember: "Wherever, whenever in our life we begin yoga, is perfect."
No experience or flexibility is required.
Why the Heated Room?

The "healing heat" of Bikram Yoga happens when breathing, movement and heat come together.

Also, heat helps you sweat and sweat is one of the most important mechanisms of natural healing, since it enables the body to release toxins, metabolic debris and excess fluid. Your skin is the largest elimination organ in your body, so the more you sweat the more toxins you release.

Since the heat will assist in opening all the muscles of the body this will also increase your mobility within the postures and decrease the risk of injury.
