Bikram Yoga Brampton

Yogiraj Bikram Choudhury is the founder of the worldwide Yoga College of India™. Born in Calcutta in 1946, Bikram began Yoga at the age of four with India's most-renowned physical culturist at that time, Bishnu Ghosh, the younger brother of Paramahansa Yogananda.Bikram Yoga is a 90-minute, 26 posture series practiced in a heated room, suitable for all ages and levels of ability. Each posture stretches, strengthens, and prepares the body to work every muscle, organ, gland, and cell in the perfect order. Bikram scientifically designed the series to bring your body back to a healthy working order, to promote weight loss, prevent illness, and limit the effects of aging. In addition, the series of postures combine skills of concentration, determination, self-control and patience, which lead to increased mental clarity and reduced stress. The added benefit of the heat helps to warm your muscles, prevent injury, and cleanse the body by flushing out all toxins.
