It takes more than a hot room and a list of postures to make your Bikram Yoga practice a safe, rewarding experience. Bikram Yoga is a specialized form of yoga, requiring appropriate training and knowledge to teach it effectively. All of our instructors at the BYI are Bikram Certified Instructors.

Bikram Choudhury, the creator of Bikram Yoga, personally trains and certifies his instructors to ensure that his methods and philosophy are preserved and properly taught. To be certified as a Bikram Yoga instructor, Our teachers had to move to Los Angeles, CA (or current training site in Hawaii) and complete an intensive nine-week training requiring well over 500 hours of study.

The Bikram Yoga Institute is guided only by Certified Instructors to provide our students with the best possible instruction in the Bikram Method. Our Certified Instructors have a continuing connection to Bikram Choudhury and his training staff, allowing The BYI to draw from all the resources Bikram's training center has to offer. This includes special seminars, posture clinics, guest instructors, and answers to questions which may arise in a particular student's practice.
