WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LEARN FROM A BIKRAM YOGA CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR? Bikram Yoga is a specialized form of yoga, requiring appropriate training and knowledge to teach it safely and effectively. 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. All teachers at Bikram Yoga South Kansas City were certified by Bikram himself. To earn this honor, teachers must successfully complete a 9-week, 500 hour training program. The teacher training program is one of the most rigorous, comprehensive and challenging Hatha Yoga teacher training programs in the world today. It consists of a minimum of three hours a day of yoga in an extrememly hot and humid room, six hours to eight hours a day of posture clinics, plus lectures by doctors and specialists on anatomy, physiology, yoga philosophy, yoga therapy and the integration of medical and logic systems. All of our instructors also maintain current recertification qualifications. Every certified instructor must meet recertification standards every three years by returning to study with Bikram himself. This ensures that you, our students, receive the highest quality of instruction available today.
