About the practice

Intense, challenging,
and extremely rewarding.

The Therapeutic Hot Yoga classes we offer (also known as Hot Yoga, 26&2, or the Bikram Method) consist of a series of 26 poses and two breathing exercises performed in a room heated to approximately 105°F with 40% humidity.

This environment is designed to mimic the climate of India, providing a comprehensive workout that encompasses all aspects of physical fitness in a single practice. This sequence was designed nearly 50 years ago to bring the benefits of yoga to everyone.

Whether you're a beginner or advanced, sick or healthy, young or old, in shape or injured, this practice is yours to make your own.
