The first class

Bikram Yoga is a dynamic series of 26 postures framed by 2 breathing exercises, lasting 90 minutes and practiced in a room heated to 40°C. The series has been scientifically designed to work the entire body (muscles, tendons, ligaments, organs, systems), with each posture preparing the next. At the end of the class, the body is stimulated, strengthened and cleansed.

Heat warms up the body more quickly, allowing the muscles to be stretched deeply and safely. Heat also causes significant sweating, which helps to eliminate toxins from the body. It increases the speed of blood circulation in the body, for an optimal cardiovascular workout and a very good re-oxygenation of the whole body.

The heat may seem very surprising the first time, or even difficult to bear in the middle of class, don't worry, it's normal! Do not hesitate to sit down quietly and come back to the series when you feel better. Very quickly, the heat will seem indispensable and the only time you will notice it is when the room is not warm enough, don't forget that the heat is an ally of your practice.

I have never done yoga, I am not very athletic, am I able to practice Bikram Yoga?

Of course you can! The series is designed for beginners. Each class follows the same sequence of 26 postures, always in the same order, regardless of your level, whether it's your first time or you've been practicing for years. The key is to try to do each posture, in the right alignment; how quickly you progress will depend on how often and how regularly you practice, but you will progress! And probably much faster than you think today!

Ideally, it is recommended to practice 3 times a week, so as not to leave more than 2 to 3 days between each session, and thus capitalize on the work done. At the beginning, especially when your physical condition has not yet returned, it is already very good to practice twice a week.

If your schedule is too busy and it is difficult for you to practice regularly, Bikram Yoga can also be practiced as a "cure", i.e. one class per day for a limited period of time. We offer subscriptions for this purpose. The ultimate challenge is the 30-day Challenge: 30 days of practice in a row, which not only gives you the opportunity to make strong progress in your body and your practice, but also gives you the chance to practice with a lot of confidence.

We propose a Discovery Offer at 30 € for 15 consecutive unlimited days; this is the best way to discover the practice of Bikram Yoga. We advise you to come at least 3 or 4 times during these 15 days, in order to have an idea of the benefits felt.

We then have a system of class cards and unlimited subscriptions, very flexible, which correspond to all types of needs. See the "Rates" section.

Your yoga outfit, a bottle of water and 2 good sized towels (1 for the mat, 1 for the shower). You can rent towels and mats (2 € per product), buy your water bottle and other drinks on site.

Drink plenty of water before class; the more hydrated you are, the easier it is to sweat afterwards. According to doctors, the daily water requirement is about 2 liters without any particular physical activity; feel free to drink a lot more on practice days. It is strongly advised to practice on an empty stomach, so do not eat at least 3 hours before class.

Yes, like any regular physical activity, Bikram Yoga will help you lose weight. The key is to combine the frequency of your practice (at least twice a week) with regularity (every week).

No! The regular practice of Bikram Yoga will contribute greatly to your fitness; the main thing is to go at your own pace, to do what you can in all honesty on the day you come to practice. It is by practicing regularly that your body will gradually open up, improve, regain its strength and flexibility, and that your breath will return.

Of course it is! Bikram Yoga is not a practice where students come with an attitude or any kind of judgment. The goal is to feel good, no matter what your body, background, occupation, age, skin color or sexual orientation.

If you have significant health problems, particularly cardiovascular disease, it is advisable to seek the advice of your doctor, as with the practice of any other physical activity that increases the heart rate during exercise. If you are injured or pregnant, it is imperative that you notify the instructor when you register.

The teachers at Yoga Bikram Hossegor have all completed the very intense training program conducted by Bikram Choudhury in the United States and have all been certified by Bikram himself.
