You’ve probably asked yourself this before: “How often should I do Bikram Yoga to get real results?”
Maybe you’ve tried a few classes and felt amazing… but then life got busy.
Work, family, burnout—it all gets in the way.
You want to feel stronger, calmer, and more alive, but you’re not sure if once a week is enough.
Or maybe three times? Or do you have to go every single day to see change?
Here’s the truth: Without a clear routine, your results will stay random.
And when results don’t show, motivation disappears.
I’ve seen this happen again and again in my 10+ years as a Bikram Yoga teacher.
Students start to get excited…
then quit too soon because they don’t have a strategy that fits their goal.
But that ends today.
In this article, you’ll discover how often should you do Bikram Yoga…
whether you’re a beginner, a transformation seeker, or a future teacher.
Backed by science, real-life student stories, and over a decade of experience.
Let’s find the rhythm that works for you.
What Goal Do You Want to Achieve?
Before you decide how often should you do Bikram Yoga, ask yourself this powerful question: “What do I want out of this practice?”
Some people walk into the hot room wanting to lose weight.
Others come to calm their minds after years of anxiety.
And some feel a calling to one day stand at the front of the room as a yoga teacher.
Whatever your goal is—there’s a rhythm that fits you.
For weight loss: One of our students practised 4–5 times a week.
Within 10 weeks, he lost 12kg—without extreme dieting.
His posture improved, energy skyrocketed, and he found joy in movement again.
For stress and mental health: According to a Harvard Medical School study, doing 90 minutes hot yoga two times a week significantly reduces stress, anxiety, and depression.
For strength and balance: 3–4 sessions per week build physical strength, flexibility, and inner stability. And most importantly—confidence. The kind that shows up in life, not just on the mat.
So, what do you want to achieve?
Once you’re clear on that, your practice becomes personal—and powerful.
Tips for Beginners: Being Consistent
Starting something new is never easy.
Especially when it’s hot, sweaty, and challenges your body and mind like Bikram Yoga does.
But here’s the truth: You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to be consistent.
As a beginner, don’t pressure yourself to practise every day.
Start with one or two classes a week. Let your body adapt to the heat and movement.
Once you feel stronger, build up to three times a week—that’s the sweet spot for most beginners.
What matters more than frequency is consistency. It’s better to practise twice a week for six months than to burn out after two intense weeks.
Remember: every class is one brick. Over time, you build a stronger, calmer, healthier version of yourself.
Also, the right teacher makes a huge difference
A certified Bikram teacher will guide you safely through the postures, help you avoid injury, and keep you inspired to keep going—even when it’s tough.
Consistency. Good guidance. A little courage.
That’s all you need to begin.
How Bikram Yoga Can Change Your Life
There’s something powerful that happens when you step into a heated room, face the mirror, and move through 26 postures for 90 minutes.
At first, it’s hard. Then it becomes healing. Then… it becomes your way of life.
Physically, you’ll gain flexibility, strength, and stamina.
Emotionally, you’ll become more resilient, grounded, and peaceful.
And mentally? You’ll gain clarity you didn’t know was possible.
Harvard research confirms what students have felt for years: hot yoga reduces stress, improves focus, and supports emotional health.
You begin to slow down. Breathe deeper. Feel more connected to yourself.
This practice can change your body, mind, and life.
But only if you show up—and trust the process.
Real Results from Our Students
Bikram Yoga isn’t just a feeling—it shows up in the data.
Hesham, one of our students who joined the YogaFX Teacher Training in Bali (Sept 2022), shared his actual medical results before and after the course.
The transformation speaks for itself:
- Cholesterol dropped by 45%
- LDL (bad cholesterol) down 55%
- Serum Triglycerides dropped 15%
- Body fat decreased by 5%
“After 3 weeks of conscious practice, my mind, body, and spirit felt renewed. This was the lowest my body fat reached—5% off in just a few weeks.” – Hesham
Want to Become a Yoga Teacher?
You’ve felt the power of Bikram Yoga in your own life.
Now, something inside you is whispering: “Maybe I’m meant to teach this.”
If that’s you, you’re not alone.
Many of our students come to class just looking for healing… but end up discovering a deeper calling.
Becoming a yoga teacher isn’t about mastering every pose.
It’s about stepping into leadership.
It’s about holding space for others..
because you’ve experienced the journey yourself.
Before you can teach with confidence, you need to practise with consistency.
Practicing four to five times a week for a few months will give you the strength, focus, and familiarity with the sequence to prepare your body and your voice for teacher training.

Our training combines online lectures, daily practice, and an in-person immersion with us.
It’s more than certification—it’s transformation.
If you’re ready to teach, start by deepening your practice.
