History and Origins of Bikram Yoga

The founder, Bikram Choudhury, was trained from an early age in the traditional practice of eighty-four hatha yoga asanas. And taught professionally from the age of six.

He won the prestigious All-India Hatha Yoga Asana Championship for three consecutive years under the guidance of his Guru, Bishnu Charan Ghosh.

His Guru was the youngest brother and life-long disciple of Self-Realization Fellowship founder Paramahansa Yogananda.

“Yoga maintains youth. It keeps the body full of vitality, immune to diseases, even at old, old age. Where medical science stops, there the science of yoga begins.”

Bikram developed his system of Hot Yoga from what he believed was the most essential combination of hatha yoga poses from the traditional eighty-four.
