Our philosophy is based on the wisdom of the ancient traditions of the East, adapted to today's world, always maintaining a therapeutic approach and wellness in general.
WHY HOT?
The heat makes the body more mobile to avoid injury, eliminates toxins, and facilitates a meditative state by directing the focus of the practice toward full breathing. Also, the heat causes a more powerful cardiac benefit, thus inducing better blood flow and helping muscle relaxation to achieve a much deeper stretch.
For Bikram classes the room is heated to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), with 40% humidity. For other more dynamic practices we use between 25-35 degrees Celsius (77-95 degrees Fahrenheit).
BIKRAM
It is a style originated from the techniques of Traditional Hatha Yoga, which consists of a series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises, practiced in a hot room. This type of yoga helps the body to fully stretch while sweating, relieving stress, joint pain, muscle contraction and healing chronic diseases. This practice works the body from the inside out to drain fears, doubts, frustrations and toxins; while highlighting the strengths, skills and great potential that we carry within
