about us

Bikram in Toe stand
Bikram Choudhury is the founder of the worldwide Yoga College of India. Born in Kolkata in 1946, Bikram began yoga at the age of four with India's most renowned physical culturist at that time, Bishnu Ghosh, the younger brother of Paramahansa Yogananda (author of the most popular book on Yoga, Autobiography of a Yogi, and founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship in Los Angeles.)
In 1973 Bikram established his first American studio in San Francisco at 910 Columbus Avenue. Our mission is not about branding. Our mission is about increasing your overall physical and mental well-being; while, practicing in a safe environment.
Because our Bikram teachers are certified to teach the 90-minute, 26+2, our mission is to create a healthy, tight knit, loving community. Your practice on all levels at America's first studio is an intimate experience, fulfilling your expectations, and well-being. Come join us at any one of our scheduled classes; and guaranteed you will walk away, feeling light in your step, and happiness from "bones to skin fingertips down to your toes."
