Club Stretch - Bikram Yoga

At Club Stretch we want to change the way you think about fitness!

Give yourself a good stretch
Bikram Yoga is a sequence of 26 classic Hatha yoga postures and two breathing exercises designed to scientifically warm and stretch your muscles, ligaments and tendons in the order in which they should be stretched. It is a challenging, exciting, and vigorous 90-minute series created for everyone, regardless of your fitness level, body type or experience. The series systematically moves fresh, oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body, to each organ and muscle fibre, restoring and maintaining a healthy system.

Hot, hot, hot...
The Bikram Yoga exercise room is heated in order to warm the muscles, which facilitates working more deeply and safely in the various poses. Heat takes the trauma out of stretching, heals and helps prevent injuries. It also promotes sweating which helps flush toxins from the body, giving a wonderful glow from head to toe. The heat combined with the sequence of the postures is what makes Bikram Yoga unique.

The 26 classic Hatha Yoga Postures

Getting started

It's easy, just show up for any class and be ready to work hard, have fun, and sweat! There is no need to pre-register. Yoga mats are available for rent or purchase, towels are provided. Water is available for purchase.

What to wear?
Be prepared to sweat! Women will be most comfortable in form fitting clothes. Cotton lycra blends work well. Shorts or leggings should not go below the knee since it is important to be able to see the knee joint in the mirror. Men should wear comfortable but not baggy or long shorts. Although most Bikram Yoga studios allow men to practice without shirts we request that men wear tops. Synthetic high tech fabrics will be most comfortable. No shoes are allowed in the yoga studio.
