	Price: £14.95 Quantity:	Bikram Yoga Book Bikram Yoga: The Guru Behind Hot Yoga Shows the Way to Radiant Health and Personal Fulfillment (Hardcover) Bikram, the "hot yoga" program, has been heating up the yoga world lately, and its founder probably has something to do with it: The outspoken, dramatic, and always controversial Bikram Choudhury has garnered a lot of attention with his version of hatha yoga that some yogis think unorthodox: In his classes, students are stuck in a room heated to at least 105 degrees doing a structured program of 26 asanas with a sergeant-like instructor, and they love it. With his take-no-prisoners philosophy, Bikram describes how the program can reap great medical, physical, and spiritual benefits - the poses work out every part of the body, all of which can help alleviate many common ailments, from asthma to back pain. (Photographs accompany each pose.) In addition, the book offers the best ways to incorporate eastern philosophy into a western lifestyle and tips on how yoga can cultivate "a union between body and spirit." About the Author Bikram Choudhury, who first won the National India Yoga Competition at the age of eleven, is an extremely charismatic teacher with a no-compromise attitude. He teaches his exclusive style of Hatha yoga at his school in Beverly Hills, and there are more than 700 Bikram yoga studios worldwide. E-mail a friend about this product


	Price: £14.95 Quantity:	Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class (Paperback) All yoga students, beginners or advanced, should benefit from this accessible book. It studies each of the 26 movements, breathing exercises and rest poses that form the basis of every Bikram yoga class. Regular practise should transform your health by reversing and preventing illness. Bikram yoga began when Bikram, a former yoga champion, made a full recovery from a crippling accident thanks to yoga, heat and his guru, Bishnu Ghosh. His guru then sent Bikram to Bombay to heal the sick with yoga. Finding that he did not have enough time to help everybody individually, Bikram began to develop an accessible sequence of postures that everyone could follow and benefit from. Today, every class follows the same sequence of 26 postures and exercises in a studio heated to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This guide studies each of the 26 movements in detail, showing and describing the "ideal" position, as well as what the beginner is more likely to be able to achieve initially and the problems they are likely to encounter. Each move is also accompanied by details of its specific health benefit and a student's personal experience of the posture. This is a fully updated edition of the original book which was published in the late 1970s. E-mail a friend about this product
