Dragon Epic classes refer to the Original Hot Yoga Therapy as introduced to the Western World by Bikram Choudhury. The traditional yoga method and system we specialize in was developed in Calcutta, India, between the 1930s and 1960s by Bishnu Ghosh, younger brother of Paramahansa Yogananda (born Mukunda L. Ghosh). Bishnu Ghosh mentored a number of outstanding students such as Buddha Bose, Gouri Shankar Mukerji, and Bikram Choudhury. Breathing Dragon Yoga has created an EPIC experience with this traditional Bikram Yoga Method class that consists of 26 precisely-sequenced postures and 2 breathing exercises, practiced in a heated room for 90 minutes. It is not simply the heat that makes this traditional style of Hatha yoga work...it is the precise sequence, teacher education, teaching, principles, and practice methods that work symbiotically to create the various transformative benefits that we call heated yoga therapy. PLEASE NOTE: Breathing Dragon Yoga practices and teaches the Original Hot Yoga, known as Bikram Yoga, because it has been time-tested as therapeutic heated Hatha yoga. We celebrate the scientifically proven health benefits of this style of yoga as it is truly accessible to all ages and bodies. HOWEVER, we are not a "Bikram Yoga" studio and have always been independently owned and operated. We are not a "franchise of Bikram Yoga" and are not controlled by Bikram Choudhury.
