All yoga students, beginners or advanced, will benefit from this accessible book. It studies each of the 26 movements, breathing exercises, and rest poses that form the basis of every Bikram yoga class. Regular practice will completely transform your health by reversing and preventing illness.

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 developed 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 movement in detail, showing the 'ideal' position as well as achievable positions for beginners, highlighting specific health benefits and personal experiences.
