Bikram Yoga Leicester extends a warm invitation to the sports community from its organiser, Sarah Thompson. At Bikram Yoga Leicester, they offer 11 classes per week, conducted by certified teachers, making it the exclusive location in the East Midlands for the original 90-minute hot yoga class.
Their studio is situated at 22 Rutland Street, Leicester, in the vibrant cultural area of St. George's Quarter. As an independently female-owned and operated yoga studio, Sarah focuses on the wellbeing of her students, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for everyone, catering to a diverse group of practitioners.
Sarah's mission is to deliver the life-enhancing benefits of Bikram Yoga to everyone, regardless of their experience, background, or ability. Whether you are new to yoga or have been practising for years, the classes are designed to suit all levels. Sarah believes that Bikram Yoga helps build strength, tone the body, and increase flexibility, mobility, and balance, connecting body and mind to aid in de-stressing and promoting overall wellness.
The studio is heated to about 40°C with 40% humidity, which is essential for achieving the significant health benefits associated with Bikram Yoga. They use far infrared technology to gently warm the body, maintaining a stable temperature throughout the class. This natural heat supports detoxification, improves circulation, relaxes muscle tissue for deeper stretching, and offers a more intense cardiovascular workout, resulting in a greater calorie burn than typical yoga classes.
Bikram Yoga involves a set sequence of 26 Hatha Yoga postures and two breathing exercises, practised in a heated room for 90 minutes. It was developed by Bishnu Ghosh in Calcutta, India, and later brought to America by his student, Bikram Choudhury. This specific sequence, along with teacher training, teaching methods, and principles, creates the unique and transformative benefits of Bikram Yoga.
Classes are scheduled throughout the week to fit various timetables. To view the schedule and book classes, please visit the website or contact them at 07968095235 or hello@bikramyogaleicester.com. The FAQs section on the website also offers helpful information.
