            By Design

               Nothing about Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class is haphazard. It is a twenty-six asana series designed to scientifically warm and stretch
           muscles, ligaments and tendons in the order in which they should be stretched. To hop into pose 15, for instance, without having
           prepared the necessary muscles, could have the same unhappy results as doing an over-hasty back flip.

               So follow the exercises in order, exactly as directed, and you won't go wrong. Bikram's twenty-six exercises systematically move
           fresh, oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body, to each organ and fiber, restoring all systems to healthy working order,
           just as Nature intended. Proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health, and a sense of well-being will automatically follow.

           Your Progress

               How quickly you progress will depend entirely on you -- upon your natural ability to a small extent, but mostly upon the honest time and
           effort you give to Yoga. It will have little to do with how "perfectly" you can do the poses. (Few of us ever do the poses "perfectly.")
           Instead, it will have to do with how well you understand what you are trying to accomplish in each pose, how honestly you try to
           accomplish your goal, and how supple your muscles and joints have become in comparison to the point at which you began. In
           Yoga there is no standard of comparison except yourself. Perfect is the best you can do that day.

               You will be taught not only the ideal pose - how you will eventually be able to do it - but also the reality - telling you what problems
           you will have as you try to do the pose, what clues will help you make rapid progress, and where you might be tempted to "cheat," thus
           depriving yourself of the benefit of doing the pose properly. You will see how this scientifically designed series of twenty-six poses will
            enhance mind and body, relax, strengthen, reshape, and heal all of you in 90 minutes.
