There Is Always More to Understand About the Yoga.
You may know the Dialogue.
You may have Practiced the Sequence hundreds—or thousands—of times.
And still hear something one day that changes how you understand a Posture, an instruction, or the Practice as a whole.
Knowledge of Bikram Yoga (KOBY) is dedicated to preserving and sharing the Source Knowledge behind the Practice.
Learning the Sequence doesn't mean you've finished learning the Yoga.
There are many ways to keep learning about and exploring this Yoga.

What Do We Mean by Source Knowledge?
Bikram taught in the room.
Through the Dialogue. Official Teacher Trainings. Seminars / Posture Clinics. Stories. Demonstrations. Individual Corrections and moments with students and Teachers.
Much of what was learned depended upon being there to hear it.
And when Knowledge is passed from person to person over decades, something can change.
An individual “Focus Point” given to one person can become an instruction given to everyone.
A detail can survive while the reason behind it disappears.
The words may remain while the context gets lost.
Not because anyone intended to change the Yoga.
It can simply happen over time.
Knowledge of Bikram Yoga exists, in part, to preserve that Source Knowledge while it can still be captured as close to the Source as possible.
So what was taught doesn't simply survive.
The understanding behind it does too.
Jim Kallett attended his first Official Bikram Yoga Teacher Training in 1997 (from which he got Certified).
Then he kept going back.
He eventually served as Senior Faculty at more than 50 Official Bikram Yoga Teacher Trainings and Teacher Re-Certifications, and was sent out by Bikram to teach Posture Clinics and Seminars worldwide.
For decades, Jim practiced, taught, observed and learned directly from the Source of Bikram Yoga.
But perhaps most importantly—
Jim paid attention.
To the stories Bikram told.
The explanations behind the Dialogue.
Why one instruction came before another.
How the individual Postures fit into the Practice as a whole.
The Context of what Bikram would say to different students – why something he told one student wasn't necessarily what he told another.
That accumulated Knowledge is what Jim is working to preserve and share through Knowledge of Bikram Yoga.
THE KNOWLEDGE IS MEANT TO BE PRACTICED
The Knowledge Is Meant to Go Back Into Your Practice
You don't need to learn everything at once.
You don't need to remember every detail.
And you certainly don't need to “finish” learning Bikram Yoga.
Sometimes you hear one thing differently.
You take it into class.
You notice something in a Posture you hadn't noticed before.
You understand an instruction differently because now you understand more about what's behind it.
Then you Practice again.
Listen. Practice. Notice. Return.
That's what the Knowledge is for.
To understand more about You, as you practice the Yoga.
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO BEGIN?
There’s Always More to Explore.
Maybe there's one Posture you've been struggling with or wondering about.
Maybe you want to understand more about how the entire Practice works together.
Maybe you want to see Jim work with different Practitioners and different bodies.
Maybe you're interested in the history, the people and the stories about the Yoga.
Or maybe you simply want to keep learning a little at a time.
There isn't one right place to begin.
Start with what interests you now.
Then take what you learn back into your Practice.
