Class Descriptions
Bikram Yoga
This class is the true, authentic Bikram series–26 postures and 2 breathing exercises designed to work the entire body—every bone, muscle, joint, tendon, ligament, gland, organ, and blood vessel. The room is heated to approximately 105° Fahrenheit, with roughly 40% humidity. Also known as the Bikram Beginner Series, the same postures are done in the same order every class; so once you have taken one class, you will know what to expect every time after that. This class is 90 minutes long.
Bikram Express
This class uses the same postures and sequence as the regular Bikram hot class, but it is done quicker, with more flow and less rest time. The Express class is 60 minutes, rather than 90.
Silent Bikram/Bikram Express
The Silent class (whether regular or Express) is also the Bikram series–the exact same sequence as the regular Bikram or Express class–but instead of leading you verbally through the postures, the instructor practices with you–leading by example. This class requires a working familiarity with the Bikram yoga series, and thus is NOT appropriate for first-timers. (However, if the Silent Classes are the only ones you can come to, please contact us and we will work with you!) The silent class is an opportunity for experienced Bikram hot yoga practitioners to practice with an instructor.
Hot power vinyasa
Hot Power Vinyasa contains 53 poses, or asanas, that are linked together by connective momentum and consists of five classical pillars: Drishti (gaze), Ujjayi (breath), Bandhas (foundation), Tapas (heat) and Vinyasa (flow). It is focused on asana, meditation, and self-inquiry. It is a “flow” or “power” style of yoga, and is heated to approximately 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Warm YIN
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga, incorporating elements of traditional Chinese medicine. The postures are meant to stimulate the energy channels in the body (meridians, or nadis), and there is a focus on applying subtle pressure to connective tissue in the joints in order to increase circulation and flexibility. Postures are generally held for a longer period of time (up to 5 minutes), and there is a focus on meditation and inner silence. Our Warm Yin class is heated to approximately 85 degrees.
Prenatal Yoga
The prenatal class is a warm class designed to stretch, strengthen, and prepare body and mind for pregnancy, labor, and delivery. It is the pregnacy modifications for the Bikram series, and thus is a fairly “rigorous” prenatal yoga class, to really help you get/stay in shape and prepare for the rigors of labor. Please bring a pillow, cushion, and/or a folded blanket for the final relaxation. The Prenatal class runs only on a contingent basis, when there are enough students. If the class is not on our class calendar, it is not currently running. HOWEVER—if you are interested in Prenatal Yoga, please contact us! Once there are enough interested students, the class will run.
Hot Power 50
Hot Power 50 is a 75-minute class practiced at 105°. The series is based on, and very similar to the Bikram series, involving 50 postures instead of 26. It utilizes the Bikram classic postures, as well as some advanced series variations and core work.
ORIGINAL 84
Also known as the Bikram Advanced sequence, this is the original sequence of 84 postures and 3 breathing exercises that was taught by Bishnu Ghosh (Bikram’s guru and Paramahansa Yogananda’s brother). It is the sequence from which the Bikram 26 is pulled, and includes those postures, as well as deep hip openers, backbends, arm balances, and inversions. Ideally, students for this class will have a foundation in Bikram Yoga (the 26 and 2), but all are welcome.
Warm Vinyasa
Vinyasa (also sometimes called “flow yoga”) is a style of yoga characterized by stringing postures together, so that practitioners move seamlessly from one pose to another, coordinating movement and breath. It is not a “fixed” style, which means that there is no set sequence, so each Vinyasa class is different. The focus in Vinyasa is on the temporary nature of things – we enter a pose, remain there for a breath, and then move out of it. Our Warm Vinyasa class is heated to approximately 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Community Bikram Yoga
Our Community Bikram Yoga class is simply a Bikram Yoga class that is led by community members. There is no instructor present — instead, students practice to a recording. Because of this, our Community class is NOT appropriate for first-time students! Please attend several Bikram Yoga classes before attempting the Community class.
Cost: $10
