Wall Mural @ Bikram

Hot yoga is a relatively young yoga practice, in existence for approximately 30 years, while traditional yoga has been around for more than 3,000. Slowly but steadily, Bikram yoga is making its mark on the world as an emerging form of both physical and mental exercise, and Center City’s Bikram Yoga Studio is a great place to learn it.

The typical class is 90 minutes long and consists of a series of 26 postures… all in a room heated to 105 degrees. The high temperature is said to enhance the stretching, balancing, and strengthening of your body while cleansing away toxins, regenerating cells, and loosening the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to safely stretch. Practicing in the heat is also believed to bring greater mental clarity, self-control, and concentration.

Center City’s Bikram Yoga Studio has been around since 2001. Tucked away on top of a shoe store on Sansom Street, you’ve probably passed it numerous times and not even noticed.

Don’t let the unexpected location trick you, the two spacious studios are decorated with gorgeous murals and stained glass windows to set the perfect atmosphere. An extensive class schedule, with classes from 6:00 in the morning to 7:30 at night, is bound to have a convenient time for even the busiest of people.

Still not convinced that Bikram yoga is for you? The studio offers an intro week package for only $20.
