Best Yoga Classes in Berwyn, IL

The heat helps to:Detoxify your body through sweating. Protect muscles for deeper stretching. Thin the blood to clear the circulatory system. Increase heart rate for a better cardio workout. Promote thixotrophy, the softening of bodily tissues into an optimal state for reorganization.

Everyday if you can! You may need a few classes to acclimate to the hot and humid room and several more classes before you feel your body begin to cooperate in earnest. Regular practitioners average four or more classes per week. Bikram recommends daily practice and, for a complete overhaul, challenges you to take six classes per week for one or two months.

Bikram brought the concept of Hot Yoga in the cold western hemisphere and now this concept is the health industry buzzword. However, not all hot yoga systems today are Bikram Yoga, but all Bikram Yoga system are hot yoga, in fact the true hot yoga is only Bikram Yoga. Authentic Bikram Yoga schools only offer class with the 26 asana sequence postures and 2 breathing exercises. All of our instructors are certified in the Bikram method of yoga and have completed an intensive nine week training requiring over 500 hours of study. A Certified Bikram Yoga Instructor provides the best possible instruction in the Bikram method.

Learn to listen during class. Ask questions before and after class. Class is silent except for the instructor. Turn off mobile devices before class; leave them with your personal effects outside the hot room. Avoid wearing perfumes, colognes and strong fragrances of any kind. No shoes or socks in the studio. Please let your instructors know of any medical conditions you may have. If you need to take a break, try to stay in the room and sit on your mat until you are ready to resume. First timers may set up their mat in the back rows to view more advanced students up front. This makes it easier to follow along by example.

No, you do not. We do recommend that you use the online schedule whenever you can because it helps to ensure your space and schedule your classes, but you are more than welcome to show up for class without doing so. Either way, please check in at the front desk before class with the instructor who will be checking in students. We will enter your information for you that day.
