Offer Details

Athletes of all kinds tend to prefer high temperatures: yogis find that the heat keeps their muscles supple, and baseball players slide more efficiently down baselines coated in melted butter. Turn up the heat with this Groupon. Teachers crank up the studio’s thermostat to 40.5 degrees Celsius for 90-minute Bikram yoga classes. Standing and sitting poses build strength and balance as the heat deepens stretches and promotes flexibility. In all, 26 poses and two breathing exercises target the entire body and can help reduce stress and lead to weight loss. See the full scheduleof more than 130 classes, which includes the locations in Cambie, Kitsilano, and West End. The Cambie studio, located in City Square Mall, offers free underground parking. Though Bikram Yoga Vancouver offers a free introductory class for new local students, this Groupon is still the best deal available. Lisa and Danny, the owners and directors of Bikram Yoga Vancouver, began their mutual journey under the tutelage of Bikram Choudhury, the founder of the worldwide Yoga College of India as well as the style of yoga that now bears his name. After a knee injury left him crippled at 17, Bikram willed himself toward recovery with the help of his teacher, Bishnu Ghosh, and the series of 26 asanasthat the two designed specifically to heal the body’s chronic physical ailments. Today, Lisa and Danny continue to teach those same 26 poses to students of all levels. Their classes unfold in a studio heated to a fiery 40.5 degrees Celsius; the high temperatures help the body shed tension, toxins, and piggybacking snowmen. Focused breathing exercises complement sitting and standing poses that propel oxygen to the body's extremities and strengthen muscles.
