It studies each of the 26 movements, breathing exercises and rest poses that form the basis of every Bikram yoga class. Regular practise will completely transform your health by reversing and preventing illness. This is the only guide available on Bikram Yoga. 'It's never too late, it's never too bad, you're never too old, you're never too sick to start from scratch once again.' Bikram Choudhury Bikram yoga began when Bikram, a former yoga champion, made a full recovery from a crippling accident thanks to yoga, heat and his guru, Bishnu Ghosh. His guru then sent Bikram to Bombay to heal the sick with yoga. Finding that he did not have enough time to help everybody individually, Bikram began to develop an accessible sequence of postures that everyone could follow and benefit from. Today, every class follows the same sequence of 26 postures and exercises in a studio heated to 100 degrees F. This reader-friendly guide studies each of the 26 movements in detail, showing and describing the 'ideal' position as well as what the beginner is more likely to be able to achieve initially and the problems they are likely to encounter. Each move is also accompanied by details of its specific health benefit and a student's personal experience of the posture. | | | Features: | |

 Bikram YogaJul 16, 2010
If you're a Bikram yoga lover, you'll love this book. Once I'm home, showered and full of the energy I receive from the class, I love to sit down with my book to see how I'm improved upon my postures; or where I know I need more improvement.
Bikram's writing is fun and energizing as well. It's not just an instructional writing; it's fun to read because the book is written as though this person were speaking to you, one on one, just like the class.
I encourage anyone who was fortunate enough to be dragged into a Bikram class, kicking and screaming, as I was, years ago, to purchase this book for the love of the Bikram yoga.
 Boastful and arrogant bookJun 04, 2010
Buy something else by someone else. The man is full of himself and proud as a peacock and it shines through in the text. Sit down to this one if you want an ego-fest
Very helpful!Nov 05, 2009
This is the second time I've bought this book. First I bought it for myself and fell in love with it. Bikram is crazy, yes, but the book is so freaking helpful for explaining how to do the poses the way you're *supposed* to do them. Why even bother with miserable hot yoga unless you're going to do it exactly right and get all the benefits from it? I want to do exactly what Bikram prescribes and this book is SUPER HELPFUL for learning exactly the right way to do the poses. Plus, it's nice to see photos of people who aren't 100 pound noodles doing the poses. I ended up giving the book to my best friend when she got excited about bikram yoga. Now I have bought the book for myself a second time. It's that good.

Powerful and TransformingOct 25, 2009
I have been a Bikram Yoga fan for 20 years...when I first discovered these postures, in 1988, from Bikram's book published in 1978, "Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class", I did the entire 90 minute set at home, everyday, for 4 months -- also, no heat, so that part is not absolutely necessary. These postures will transform you, physically and psychologically -- they are very powerful and I can't recommend them enough.
Not only did I get into better shape, but it also gave me a sense of calm and peace and it completely healed my tendency to occasionally compulsively overeat. In all the years since, I have never eaten to fill an emotional void. I have recommended Yoga to many people and don't understand why people with weight issues don't commit to Yoga. It is very powerful!
Good read and funny as well..Sep 21, 2009
I bought this book a few years ago and have reread it many times. It's funny to "read his accent" and to learn what we do wrong and how to do it correctly.
