New Research

The results are in from a new study called the "Bikram Yoga Heart Study." It tested a variety of factors like blood glucose and vascular health as the subjects practiced the 26+2 of Bikram yoga. Some subjects practiced in 105 degrees (F) while others practiced at room temperature, 73 degrees.

"Results showed significant and equal improvement in brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (an index of vascular health and heart disease risk) with 12 weeks of both the heated (105-degree) yoga and non-heated (73-degree) yoga groups. However, while both yoga practices were equally beneficial on the vasculature, there were some differences in their effects on other variables with additional reductions in body fat percentage and a trend (almost statistically significant) toward a reduction in LDL (bad)-cholesterol being seen only in the hot yoga group alone."

This study was funded by Pure Action.

I would love a regular thermoneutral Bikeam practice. I wish more studios would offer these options as the radically heated environment is not good for my pitta.

This is great news to validate what we've been experiencing through this special system we all know and love, Bikram Yoga. I've taught the 26+2 system in a less heated room for several years with wonderful results. Thank you PURE yoga, Ida Jo and Scott Lamps, and Tony sanchez for for your inspiration, study, action, and willingness to lead us in the evolution of BIkram yoga... 🙏
