Things You'll Need:
- Yoga mat
- <br>Water bottle
- <br>Large bath towel
-
Step 1
Find a local center that teaches Bikram yoga. Unlike other forms of yoga, Bikram needs to be practiced in a studio.
-
Step 2
On the day of your class, make sure to drink plenty of water to hydrate yourself, and try not to eat for two hours before.
-
Step 3
Wear light, stretchy clothing, since you will sweat. Tank tops and running shorts are good bets. Some studios allow swimsuits, but call ahead to make sure if you plan on wearing one.
-
Step 4
At the studio, fill up your water bottle and set up your mat in a spot where you’re comfortable.
-
Step 5
Follow your instructor’s lead. Bikram is a beginning series so even yoga newbies should be able to follow along. Classes start with standing poses, then move to backbends, forward bends and twists.
-
Step 6
When you start to sweat, position your towel under you so the sweat hits the towel, not the studio floor.
-
Step 7
After class, make sure you re-hydrate with plenty of water to replace the fluid you lost during your workout.
