All of our instructors are trained and certified by Bikram in a world acclaimed nine week intensive teacher training course. All Bikram Yoga teachers are trained in anatomy, yoga philosophy, and his specific method of teaching the 26 postures in the Bikram beginning series. The Bikram community is a worldwide family that stays connected and shares teaching tips and knowledge. Teachers are required to see Bikram once every three years for recertification, but many teachers go back to the source on a regular basis to support teacher trainings and yoga asana competitions, to attend seminars, and for their own continuing education. Using Bikram’s beginning dialogue to understand and teach the postures, each teacher brings his/her own personal experiences to their teaching. You will find at Bikram Yoga in the Mission a diverse community of teachers and students who come together on the common ground of this healing yoga practice.
