“Regardless of your age or current physical condition you’ll laugh, cry, moan, groan, sweat and experience the most exciting, hard working and effective therapeutic yoga routine in the world.” — Bikram Choudhury

Hamilton's First Bikram Hot Yoga Studio!

Welcome to the first certified Bikram Yoga studio in Hamilton, Ontario. Please come prepared to sweat and stretch! All classes are 90 minutes in length and the yoga postures are performed in a hot yoga room. (105–110° Fahrenheit [ 40.56–43.33° Celsius ] with a minimum of 40% humidity.)

It is advisable that you avoid eating 2-3 hours prior to the class time, to allow your body a sufficient period of time for digestion of previous meals. Once you have settled into a comfortable and regular yoga routine, you will be able to assess your eating habits with regard to yoga practice more effectively. In time, you will come to learn what your body’s needs are. You will be able to determine what to eat, how much to eat and when to eat. You will then be able to adjust your eating schedule to complement your body’s requirements. It is essential that you are properly hydrated before taking a Bikram hot yoga class.
