Check out this video we made you with tips and demonstration - then try it in your next class!

VIDEO: Beginners tutorial for Bikram yoga practice at (your) home

4/10/2020

1 Comment

 
No level of experience, strength or flexibility are required to safely attempt a Bikram yoga class! However, online classes are a bit of a tricky way to start, especially if you are a visual learner, mostly because it's difficult to see the other students.

Our friends at Wellness Hot Yoga made this video to help new yogis
have a better understanding of the postures, so you can feel better during and after your class! Thanks, WHY!!
We hope this tutorial was helpful for you.

​For more tutorials about specific poses, search the blog post archives for the name of the pose and click! Here are a few we especially recommend for beginners:
  • What is normal breathing?
  • What does it mean to lock the knee?
  • How to do a situp
