Maria Cintron opened Bikram Yoga Bethlehem in 2013 with the desire to help others restore and revitalize their minds and bodies to a state of health and well-being. The practice itself was created in the 1970s by Bikram Choudhury, who used yoga to heal himself from a chronic physical ailment after doctors doubted his recovery. Done in a heated room, the 90-minute Bikram yoga session promotes cellular metabolism, vasodilation and detoxification, and encourages suppleness of the muscular system. “When these classes fill up, they exude tremendous healing group energy, benefiting everyone in the room,” Cintron says. The Bikram team is committed to helping people live better-quality lives, and offers a space where students can develop their skills at their own pace. Bikram Yoga Bethlehem also offers boxing and circuit-training classes to complement their yoga and add diversity to daily workouts. “Bikram Yoga works like no other practice in delivering measurable and noticeable health benefits in a fairly short period of time,” says Cintron.
Bikram Yoga Bethlehem will offer one free class, a $20 value, to readers who mention Lehigh Valley Style this month.
