All Hatha Yoga is, in a sense, a form of meditation. Our approach is very basic with an initial emphasis on the body but our teaching recognizes the importance of the connection between mind and body. In fact, Bikram has described what we do as a kind of forced meditation -- what he means is that the mental efforts required to hold the physical postures requires a natural meditation, which is really just a strong and disciplined focus of the mind.
We don't stare at candles or chant and much of the class time is spent on physical challenges of flexibility, balance and strength but the benefits of our practice are as much in our mental capacity as in the physical. Increased concentration, a reduction of stress levels and an improved sense of well being are some of the many rewards you will discover through Bikram Yoga.

meditative? YES!
It continually keeps me in the now moment...now and now and now...i can't concern myself with what just happened in that posture or, what's to happen next...Bikram is an excellent meditative practice once the postures become familiar.
Now, if i can only take that 'now' mind out of the studio and into life, i will have accomplished much!
