About the practice
The original hot yoga, taught by certified masters
Bikram Yoga is the original hot yoga discipline. At Bikram Yoga México, certified yoga masters guide students through a consistent sequence designed to support health and well-being, now offered at studios across Mexico City.
The discipline
What is Bikram Yoga?
Bikram Yoga is described as the original hot yoga discipline. A class follows a fixed sequence of 26 postures practiced in a heated room, a format that defines the method.
The studio network in Mexico City includes locations in Polanco, San Ángel, Lomas de Chapultepec, and Santa Fé, where certified masters teach the sequence in its traditional form.
The truth about the heat
The heated room is a defining element of the practice. Practicing in warmth is widely understood to support flexibility, circulation, and a focused, calm working environment during the sequence.
The 26 postures
Each class moves through 26 postures, a structured set that includes standing and floor work, designed to engage the full body across the session.
