About

Bonita Hot Yoga in Bonita has offered the original 26-posture Bikram sequence since establishing its 1,500-square-foot heated studio at 5080 Bonita Road in 2008, at the corner of Bonita Road and Central Avenue. Each 90-minute class moves through 26 postures and two pranayama breathing exercises inside a room heated to a minimum of 105 degrees Fahrenheit, a thermotherapy-enhanced flexibility protocol that complements the spinal-alignment work at Woven Light Chiropractic Co. - Bonita. The studio includes dedicated changing rooms with showers, allowing practitioners to transition directly from the heated session to the post-class recovery phase. Instruction emphasizes the Bikram method's prescribed posture sequence—from pranayama standing deep breathing through pada-hasthasana and ending with kapalbhati in firm pose—a structured format distinct from the freeform bodywork at Holistic Spa Palace. The deepest-hold postures in the sequence—including standing-head-to-knee and standing-bow-pulling—demand isometric contractions sustained for 60 seconds at 105°F, generating core-temperature elevation that increases synovial-fluid viscosity and connective-tissue elasticity across all major joint complexes.
