Synopsis Bikram Choudhury wrote BIKRAM'S BEGINNING YOGA CLASS in 1978 with the intention of popularizing his version of hatha yoga in the west. Practiced at 105 degrees temperature with 60% humidity, Bikram yoga involves manipulating blood flow in the body by creating a "tourniquet" effect through various postures, which in turn affects the organs, muscles, and immune system. Many years following its initial publication, this guide still serves as a clear introduction to the basics of the major asanas and pranayama (deep breathing). Bikram presents the information in a simple yet conversational tone, divided into clearly delineated chapters, and including useful photographs for each posture, making this the ideal guide for a beginner's use.
