The second in our Hot Yoga series, this class is based on the Bikram Yoga method and incorporates 26 poses designed to deeply stretch the muscles and detoxify the body. Lauren is an incredibly inspiring instructor, and she takes her time in this class to focus on proper alignment for each pose and transition. This class is perfect for students of all levels, and is especially beneficial for intermediate to advanced students as it will allow you to hone your technique and deepen your practice. There is a long relaxing Savasana at the end to help you soak up the benefits of this class. We recommends using a space heater to heat your room before performing this class for best results.

| I think it s a tough spot to walk the line between giving people instructions if they are new to something and yet not boring the people who are more experienced. I am an experienced Bikram/hot yoga practitioner who wanted something to complement a home practice, so in particular in the first few sequences, such as half-moon pose, it s really frustrating to have my arms up in the air, waiting to move into the pose, and hear *so* many instructions. I think the standing series, for the most part, moves painfully slowly, but then there s barely a savasana between poses in the floor series--it s really rushed with the floor series. I would support this being remastered a bit and repackaged as solely for people more experienced with the Bikram sequence--then there would be more of an energy of getting in there and moving between postures, with less time taken up to try and explain the alignment (which I personally don t think can really be done safely, anyway--people who are new to yoga really need a teacher to be there, showing them what proper alignment looks like). My experience of this class was that it s got more of that light, floaty quality to it. I do love taking yoga classes that are more meditative and slower, but not when it s Bikram--to me, that s a different approach to the postures. I would have preferred delivery with a bit more energy/intensity. |
