FAQ

When should I arrive?

Arrive at least 15 minutes before class. This will give you enough time to register, change, and become used to your surroundings.

What should I wear?

Dress as if you were going to the beach — light, fitted exercise clothing work fine. Avoid baggy t-shirts and pants. A sleeveless top and shorts are best. Don’t worry about shoes – you’ll be doing your yoga barefoot.

What should I eat?

Avoid eating 2-3 hours before class — yoga is always best practiced on an empty stomach. Some people however need to have a little something in their belly (such as a piece of fruit or an energy bar). You’ll soon figure it out what works for you and what your body needs.

How much water should I drink?

LOTS! You can lose several pounds of water during class. You should be drinking 1-2 liters per day, every day. On the days you practice Bikram Yoga, you’ll need up to 3-4 liters. Most of your water intake should be at least 2 hours before and after class. Don’t fill up on the way to class, or during class.
If you’re feeling sluggish, dizzy or even nauseous during or after the class you may be dehydrated or mineral deficient. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. You might also like to try some electrolytes.

 How often should I practice?

“For great results, practice three times per week. For life changing results, practice six days per week,” says Bikram. One class is better than nothing, but six classes per week (with one day of rest) is amazing.

Can I lose weight?

YES! Whenever you are moving your body, you are burning calories. In a 90 minute Bikram yoga class you can burn between 350-500 calories. You’ll find as you feel better about your body, you’ll begin to make better food choices. Meanwhile, your cravings for sugar, salt and caffeine will decrease, and you’ll eat less junk – good news for your waistline!
