"Yoga is the perfect vehicle for change of yourself.
First by creating a strong and powerful body and mind.
It is a starting point from which you can begin to realize your human spirit"  
Bikram Choudhury

Bikram Yoga is the series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises popularized by Bikram Choudhury. Bikram began teaching in India under the guidance of his guru, Bishnu Ghosh [Paramahansa Yogananda’s brother], until he was instructed to take the therapeutic practice east to Japan. There, he noticed that the students weren’t able to work as deeply into the body and connective tissues, releasing toxins, and increasing medical benefits as quickly as they did in his homeland. When he spoke with his guru, he was told to heat the room. The space heaters installed, the students began improving quickly, showing the benefits of their practice… The genesis of ”hot yoga”.

When Bikram moved from Japan to the United States, he founded a studio in Beverly Hills and became the teacher to the stars bringing his series, his style, and “hot yoga” mainstream.

However, Bikram Yoga is more than just the one man. After all, the history of yoga traces back over 5,000 years [Some researcher believe it may be up to 10,000 years old!] with countless gurus, styles, and interpretations.

Our lineage begins with Mahavatar Babaji to Lahiri Mahasaya to Sri Yukteswar Giri to Paramahansa Yogananda.

Indian yogi, guru, and the father of Kriya Yoga. Some refer to him as a mythical as reports seeing him date from the 1800s into present day; others believe that he is a younger version of Lahiri Mahasaya. According to Yogananda's autobiography, Babaji lives in the remote Himalayan region of India. Fun fact: Legend tells that if you've lost something, ask Babaji to help you find it… And, he will.

Indian yogi, guru, and disciple of Mahavatar Babaji. Chosen by Babaji to reintroduce the lost practice of Kriya Yoga, his students included Yukteswar Giri and both of Yogananda's parents.

Indian yogi, guru, and scholar, he developed a syllabus for teaching the sciences in schools. His book, The Holy Science, speaks of the common threads amongst all faiths. He was the guru of Paramahansa Yogananda.

Indian yogi and guru. He brought meditation and Kriya Yoga to the attention of millions of Indian's and westerners. In 1920, he founded the Self-Realization Fellowship and in 1924 established a home for the fellowship in Los Angeles, California where it still resides today. His book, Autobiography of a Yogi, has been translated into 45 different languages providing inspiration for many.

"Everything, at first, is an idea, a special creation […]
First, free yourself from wrong thoughts and habits.
Second, establish good habits and perform good deeds.
If you keep trying, you will improve.
A saint is a sinner who never gave up.
Never give up!"
