Bikram method yoga is a twenty-six asana series designed by Bikram Choudhury to scientifically warm and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons in the proper order.

Bikram's twenty-six exercies sytematically move fresh, oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body, to each organ and fiber, restoring all systems to healthy working order, just as nature intended. Proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health, and a sense of well-being will automatically follow.

About Skip:
Stephen "Skip" Wolfram is the Founder and Director of Bikram's Yoga College of India, Longwood, celebrating 5 years in January of 2006.  Skip took his first class in 1997 and has been a dedicated student ever since.  "I took my first class out of desperation. My ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) was severed in a basketball injury, and I had chronic neck and lower back pain from a surfing accident that crushed my L5 vertebrae.  My surgeries, although successful, left my knee sore and stiff and I assumed that I would have to live with back and neck pain forever. After my first class, I was blown away! Not only did my I feel better, my whole body felt electrified, yet supremely relaxed at the same time"  Skip served in the US Air Force for seven

years and traveled extensively throughout Asia as a Chinese Mandarin linguist and earned his BA in East Asian Studies from the University of Hawaii.  Skip received his certification as a Bikram Method Instructor in June of 2000 and has taught over 4,000 classes.  "I practice this yoga because I love it and I know it works, I teach because I want to share what I have discovered.  I am a student of history and yoga has proven itself effective for at least 5,000 years.

About Bikram:
Yogiraj Bikram Choudhury is the founder of the worldwide Yoga College of India. He began Yoga at age 4 in Calcutta under Bishnu Ghosh, brother of Paramhansa Yogananda. An exceptional student, Bikram went on to win the National India Yoga contest at age 13 and remained undefeated for 3 years. At age 17 Bikram suffered a catastrophic knee injury in a weight-lifting accident. The prognosis given by leading European doctors was that he would never walk again. Not willing to accept this, Bikram returned to Bishnu Ghosh's school for rehabilitation. It took a mere 6 months to make a full recovery. Inspired, and with Ghosh's urging, Bikram went on to open several Yoga schools of his own in India and then Japan. He has since brought his curative methods of Yoga therapy around the world.
