What is The Barkan Method?

Yoga means union of body, mind and spirit. Hot Hatha Yoga is the physical form of yoga designed to bring balance and well-being into your life. It is the perfect lifetime fitness program and totally different from any other kind of exercise.

We stretch the body from the bone to the skin and from the head to the toes, which helps to quiet the mind, and energize the body. The movements of The Barkan Method reach deep into the tissue, relieve tension and stress, revitalize and assist in overcoming many physical and emotional problems, such as sciatica, back and neck problems, and depression.

What differentiates The Barkan Method from Bikram or other forms of Hot Yoga?

The Barkan Method is built on many of the poses and philosophies of Bikram Choudhury and Bishnu Ghosh, but incorporates different means of entering into poses, as well as several variations so that practitioners of all abilities are able to experience the full benefits of the workout.

Why is the room heated?

The room is intentionally hot. It is heated to warm your muscles, prevent injuries and allow for a deeper release in your body. Sweating will also help flush toxins and poisons from your body.

What if I'm not flexible?

A perceived sense of inflexibility is the most common hindrance that prevents people from trying yoga. Yoga, and in particular The Barkan Method, is not about how flexible you are; it is about stretching your body, quieting the mind, and healing the soul. The more inflexible you are, the more you need yoga. You become flexible by doing yoga.
