Trained and Certified 

Bikram Yoga instructors are trained and certified by world-renowned Yoga Master Bikram Choudhury. Certification involves 9 weeks of intensive teacher training and over 500 hours of study. Our teachers while at the Bikram Yoga College spend every waking breath studying and practicing Bikram Yoga. Course study includes Asanas, anatomy, therapeutic applications and health benefits of Yoga, nutrition and philosophy of Yoga. Re-certification is required every 3 years. Teachers further their development by attending Bikram's seminars and posture clinics and by maintaining a personal practice.
Why is certification important? 

Bikram yoga is a very specialized, precise form of yoga. To get the greatest benefit, you need an instructor that is also highly specialized. Bikram Choudhury personally trains and certifies his instructors, ensuring that his methods and philosophies are preserved.
