"Doing yoga makes everything in life better by bringing my attention away from my mind into my body. My whole body feels healthier and better after yoga and my mind has been (at least partly) scrubbed of sticky, limiting thoughts." - Jacob

"This practice has taught me what it means to make a healthy commitment to myself and look at yoga as is a lifelong practice. I'm here because I'm committed to feeling my best and I know this class helps me get there. " - Lillith

"Yoga really helps with stress. I become so focused on the postures and not falling over that I have no mental capacity to think about anything else. It becomes meditative. Bikram Yoga provides a great space to literally sweat out all of your stress. You feel so good after." - Kat

"After 11 years of Vinyasa yoga, I decided to try Bikram. Terrified, I bought a Groupon to a studio in the city. Two and a half  years later, I'm astounded by how the yoga has changed my anatomy structurally, myself mentally, and just how I see myself as myself. It's changed my life in more ways than I can divulge. Physically, I'm stronger, mentally I'm more focused, emotionally I can express and release better than before. I can breathe in and out of situations I'd be like a shrinking violet man. I've learned so much from so many teachers I have encountered, met people who are the closest to me. I have so much gratitude." - Erin

"I've been doing hot yoga off an on for about 3 years now and never thought I'd love any studio as much as I loved my home base. I was wrong. I love YO BK and can't wait for my next practice!" - Jazmin

Traditional Hot Yoga

Traditional Hot Yoga is a therapeutic style of Hatha Yoga from northern India consisting of 26 postures or "asanas" and two breathing exercises. It is a beginner's series taught in 60 or 90 minutes. Each pose is a challenge based on one's personal abilities. The postures are done in the safe environment of a heated room in order to relieve one's body resistance without risking injury.

This yoga series is strength-based. What makes this style unique is that rather than flowing through postures (one breath per motion), you spend time in postures for your body to strengthen and remember them. The postures are cardiovascular and will elevate your heart-rate to burn calories. 

The beauty of this yoga is that it can be practiced by anyone--it’s safe for beginners and challenging for veterans. In the same class, you will find teenagers, professional athletes and seniors. As you increase strength, flexibility and balance in your body, you will be energized, you will revitalize your mind, and you will progress towards eliminating conditions of daily stress and fatigue.

All teachers are Bikram-certified with 500+ hours of training.
