We will continue to offer a safe environment physically, mentally, and emotionally for you to forget about your day, forget about your troubles, and explore yourself in your practice.
Come once a month, come once a week, come every single day… Whatever you choose, we are always happy to see you!

"Yoga
is the perfect vehicle for change of yourself.
First by creating a strong and powerful body and mind.
It is a starting point from which you can begin to realize your
human spirit"
Bikram Choudhury
Bikram Yoga
is the series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises popularized
by Bikram Choudhury. Bikram began teaching in India under the guidance
of his guru, Bishnu Ghosh [Paramahansa Yogananda’s brother],
until he was instructed to take the therapeutic practice east to
Japan. There, he noticed that the students weren’t able to
work as deeply into the body and connective tissues, releasing toxins,
and increasing medical benefits as quickly as they did in his homeland.
When he spoke with his guru, he was told to heat the room. The space
heaters installed, the students began improving quickly, showing
the benefits of their practice… The genesis of ”hot yoga”.
When Bikram
moved from Japan to the United States, he founded a studio in Beverly
Hills and became the teacher to the stars bringing his series, his
style, and “hot yoga” mainstream.
However, Bikram
Yoga is more than just the one man. After all, the history of yoga
traces back over 5,000 years [Some researcher believe it may be
up to 10,000 years old!] with countless gurus, styles, and interpretations.
Our lineage
begins with Mahavatar Babaji to Lahiri Mahasaya to Sri Yukteswar
Giri to Paramahansa Yogananda.

Indian yogi,
guru, and the father of Kriya Yoga. Some refer to him as a mythical
as reports seeing him date from the 1800s into present day; others
believe that he is a younger version of Lahiri Mahasaya. According
to Yogananda's autobiography, Babaji lives in the remote Himalayan
region of India. Fun fact: Legend tells that if you've lost something,
ask Babaji to help you find it… And, he will.

Indian yogi,
guru, and disciple of Mahavatar Babaji. Chosen by Babaji to reintroduce
the lost practice of Kriya Yoga, his students included Yukteswar
Giri and both of Yogananda's parents.

Indian yogi,
guru, and scholar, he developed a syllabus for teaching the sciences
in schools. His book, The Holy Science, speaks of
the common threads amongst all faiths. He was the guru of Paramahansa
Yogananda.

Indian yogi
and guru. He brought meditation and Kriya Yoga to the attention
of millions of Indian's and westerners. In 1920, he founded the
Self-Realization Fellowship and in 1924 established a home for the
fellowship in Los Angeles, California where it still resides today.
His book, Autobiography of a Yogi, has been translated
into 45 different languages providing inspiration for many.
"Everything,
at first, is an idea, a special creation […]
First, free yourself from wrong thoughts and habits.
Second, establish good habits and perform good deeds.
If you keep trying, you will improve.
A saint is a sinner who never gave up.
Never give up!"
