Bikram Hot Yoga Miami - Bikram yoga done the right way so you get the best possible experience: the right heat, the right humidity, the right carpet, and the right teaching. Why is this important?
Bikram yoga is a formula. It requires certain components to be effective and we at Bikram Hot Yoga Miami are committed to and passionate about doing it right for you and for all our students.
Bikram grew up practicing yoga in India and together with his guru developed this set of 26 postures (from the classic 84) and 2 breathing exercises for us in the West. The class is designed so that #1 every body can safely do it and #2 it is a complete workout of every muscle, joint, organ and gland in only 90 minutes. To achieve this efficiency, the details have to be right.
THE HEAT The heat does three things: #1 warms your muscles so they stretch more, #2 makes you sweat out more toxins, and #3 helps your blood circulate more freely to more parts of your body. Bikram specifies 105 degrees Fahrenheit. There will always be some variation due to weather, number of bodies in the room, and time of day, but we invest in the technology and constant monitoring to keep the heat as close to the ideal as possible as often as possible. Why settle for more or less heat than Bikram specifies?
THE HUMIDITY At 105 Fahrenheit, 40% humidity is a natural equilibrium and is specified by Bikram. Again, we invest in technology to keep it there with as little variation as possible. Why settle for more or less humidity than Bikram specifies?
THE CARPET Bikram specifies a certain kind of carpet so students can strengthen their legs properly. Any other kind of flooring that requires a student to use a towel in separate leg poses is removing the leg strengthening component of the pose. Our carpet is steam-cleaned regularly. Why settle for anything less?
THE TEACHING This is the most important component. Bikram wrote a script called the Dialogue that every Bikram teacher is required to follow. The Dialogue includes all the details a beginning student needs to know at exactly the time they need to hear it during the pose. Bikram tested this Dialogue on tens of thousands of bodies at his California studios. Once a student hears these words enough they actually begin to meditate while still improving the posture. Unfortunately, many studios and teachers consider their own way and their own words to be as effective as Bikram's. Why settle for that?
Warm regards,
