“A classic early Bikram Yoga guide—great for beginners and for understanding the roots of the method.”
Bikram’s Beginning Yoga Class (1978) is one of the earliest published introductions to the Bikram Yoga method. Written by Bikram Choudhury, this original edition reflects how the system was taught and explained during the early growth of hot yoga in the 1970s.
Developed after Bikram’s own recovery from serious injury through yoga and heat therapy, the sequence presented in this book emphasizes consistency, structure, and disciplined practice. The postures and breathing exercises are designed to support physical strength, flexibility, and mental focus when practiced regularly.
This classic edition serves both as a practical beginner guide and a historical reference for students interested in understanding the roots of the Bikram 26+2 sequence.
