Bikram
Choudhury developed a scientifically
designed series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises, working
each system in the body through contraction and extension. The postures
address every bodily system including the digestive, respiratory,
circulatory, immune k, endocrine, lymphatic, skeletal, muscular and
nervous systems. It stretches and strengthens every muscle, ligament
and joint in the body. The postures work synergistically and cumulatively
to warm up the muscles and joints for the next posture-working the
organs, glands, and nervous system in a systematic way. Thus, returning
the body into balance.
The 90-minute classes burn between 450 and 600 calories
and is designed to exercise every muscle and joint in the body.
Classes are mixed-level and welcome beginners.
