Bikram Yoga is an intelligently designed sequence of 26 postures (asanas), practiced for 90 minutes in a hot room. The increased room temperature aids in warming the muscles and increasing the flexibility of the body tissues, allowing for deeper stretching and helping to prevent injury. Toxins are released through the breath and skin by sweating. The end result is an unparalleled feeling of mental and physical well-being and relaxation. Bikram Yoga is the best way to lose weight and get in shape for people of all ages and abilities, especially beginners. You can burn 600 to 1,000 calories per class at Bikram Yoga Vancouver, depending your work rate.more...See more text
There’s no such thing as a free lunch but there is such a thing as free yoga…if you’re willing to work for it. Bikram Yoga, a hot yoga studio at Cambie and West 12th, offers free classes to volunteers who help clean and maintain the studio. Donating your time and energy to the community is a key part of the philosophy of yoga, so try to think happy thoughts as you scrub the sweaty mats.
