Bikram Yoga on CBS 60 Minutes Wednesday, June 8, 2005 (requires QuickTime)

Bikram Choudhury, founder of Bikram's Yoga College of India, World Headquarters, Los Angeles, California, began learning Hatha yoga at the age of three in Calcutta, India. At age five, he began studying with Bishnu Ghosh, one of the great physical culturists of our time. At the age of eleven, he was the youngest contestant ever to win the national India Yoga Competition and at fourteen he was declared "King of the Yogis." [more]

Bikram’s Yoga is a health system that provides everyone an avenue to enhance personal performance and assist to correct physical ailments. It uniquely provides the perfect marriage between the health and fitness industry as both are achieved by practicing one integrated approach. [more]

As a substitute teacher, developing effective ways to manage your classroom is the most important task. When you are faced with a new set of students every day, it is imperative that you immediately establish the tone and get their attention. I have seen teachers come up with numerous creative ways to engage a class and earn students' trust.

When I walk into a classroom for the first time, I always begin with a brief introduction followed by an explanation of my favorite hobby: Bikram Yoga. I then invite the class to join me for a breathing exercise. This method has engaged my students, and established a certain healthy respect towards my choice of activities outside the classroom. Yoga has become a "trade mark" to my students. Repeat students actually look forward to my classes and expect to participate in Yoga poses and breathing exercises. Of course, an added benefit is getting the kids participate in a mind/body disciplinary activity. Yoga has become an important part of my teaching curriculum. It has served me well in opening the channels of communication with my students, and has been a healthy motivator by combining discipline with fun activity.
