Bikram Yoga is a challenging series of 26 asanas, or postures, which are designed to systematically stretch, strengthen and restore health to every part of the body.  Scientifically designed by Bikram Choudhury, founder of the worldwide Yoga College of India, this 90-minute program is performed in a heated room.
