About Certified BikramYoga Method Instructors

BikramYoga™ is a unique series of yoga postures practiced in a temperature controlled environment. Only Instructors certified by Bikram Choudhury and the Yoga College of India are qualified to teach the BikramYoga™ method.

Only certified Bikram Yoga Method Instructors:

  • are authorized to represent themselves as instructors in Bikram method yoga
  • are issued certification credentials by the Yoga College of India
  • are permitted to teach BikramYoga

Essential to the proper practice of BikramYoga™ is a consistent observance of Bikram’s prescribed method as a whole, without modification or alteration. The benefits of Bikram Yoga can not be fully realized unless certified Instructors and studios strictly observe Bikram’s method. Bikram Choudhury and the Yoga College of India continuously require every certified Instructor to provide instruction consistent with Bikram’s prescribed yoga method.

Refer to the directory of Certified Studios for qualified instructors who maintain strict adherence to the BikramYoga™ method.

Bikram has recently obtained Copyright Registration for his Asana Sequence, offering further protection for you, the student, that your experience in a Bikram Yoga class will be safe and consistent with Bikram's Method Yoga.
