Hot yoga/ Bikram yoga




Bikram Yoga is a system of yoga that Bikram Choudhury synthesized from traditional hatha yoga techniques and popularized beginning in the early 1970s. All Bikram Yoga classes run for 90 minutes (or 60minutes in the morning - 7:00 am-8:00am in Hot yoga studio, Bratislava)and consist of the same series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises.

If you decide to try a class, don't expect your instructor to demonstrate the moves. In Bikram, they're trained to talk you through the flow as part of a moving meditation (listening to these directions forces practitioners to stop thinking and be in the moment). No matter where you practice in the world, the dialogue between the teacher and the student stays pretty much the same (seriously, they're following a script).

I tried my first hot (bikram) yoga today, and honestly it was really difficult to remain in positions during that heat. But the feeling after is AMAZING!
