Preserving the Integrity of the Bikram Yoga

Getting Back to The Basics of What It is And How it Works 

Remember these words?

"Welcome to Bikram’s Beginning Yoga Class To Kill Yourself for Next 90 Minutes. Pranayama breathing, good for your lungs. All 10-fingers interlock position. Touch your hands underneath your chin, never separate.”

This is the authentic Bikram’s Beginning Yoga Class Dialogue, the mantra of the 26 postures.

The all familiar words you’ve heard hundreds, maybe thousands of times.

But, the truth is: knowing the Dialogue without understanding the deeper principles is like having a Ferrari without knowing how to drive it.

You possess an extraordinarily powerful healing system—yet can't access its full potential.

The Missing Link That Changes Everything

What if you could access a missing manual for the system you already practice or teach?

What if you could access the true wisdom of all that Bikram Yoga offers directly from one of the only living teachers who has accumulated the knowledge from the source? 

Hi fellow Bikram practitioners, 

My name is Jim Kallett, some of you may know of me. 

My life as a Bikram Yogi for 30 years and counting:

  • Certified at Bikram's 5th ever Teacher Training program in 1997
  • Senior Faculty for 50+ Official Bikram Yoga Teacher Trainings 
  • Mandated by Bikram to teach posture clinics worldwide
  • International Head Judge at the Yoga Championships for a decade
  • Coach of 5 International Yoga Champions
  • Founder of San Diego's first Bikram School as one of the largest in the world

These credentials only tell part of the story.

For almost three decades, I stayed close to the source, listened and absorbed every explanation, every bit of wisdom, every story that revealed the deeper mechanisms of this practice directly from Bikram himself.

I've taught over 50,000 students worldwide, applying this knowledge in the practical real world.

After studying the subject and the source 24/7 for 30 years, I have developed a unique ability to articulate what Bikram Yoga is. 

This has been my life’s occupation. 

The Truth Behind Real Bikram Yoga

It was, and is not my intention to become the Guardian of Bikram's original teachings, but to champion the original purpose of Bikram Yoga – which is to make it accessible to anyone and everyone without exclusion, something that’s being lost. 

It’s important for people to understand that Bikram Yoga is not about a person, Postures or the Yoga itself…

It’s about you; your mind, your body, your health, your Life. 

Using the safest, most effective system of Hatha Yoga Asana practice (Bikram Yoga) to improve the quality and longevity of your Life. 

"The Authentic Bikram Wisdom"

is in danger of being lost forever

This is reality. 

The original teaching has become diluted, commercialized and in some cases completely misrepresented. Schools have been closing and other teacher trainings have changed the Yoga.

Meanwhile, other “hot yoga” styles have diluted what Bikram actually taught, creating confusion about what's authentic and what isn't.

As one long-time practitioner told me, "I've been to studios where they play music, skip postures, or change the sequence.” 

How do you know what's really Bikram's teaching and what's not?

The authentic transmission of knowledge is at risk. 

The result is a crisis of confidence among even the most dedicated Bikram practitioners.

Why This Knowledge Matters Now More Than Ever

When wisdom is not passed down, it disappears.

The world needs this medicine, this authentic healing now more than ever.

True healing doesn't come from innovation - it comes from authenticity.

Every time a teacher dilutes the practice because they don't understand its precise mechanisms, the power of the system diminishes.

Every time a student hits a plateau because they don’t understand the process of the Yoga, another healing journey stalls.

We all know countless people who have improved the quality of their Life and health with the practice of this Yoga. 

So, there’s no reason why this Yoga should be changed or kept from anyone. 

That's why, after years of requests, we're finally re-releasing the recordings of the "Yoga Is Life Radio" show I hosted in 2014, to start unlocking the vault of this long overdue collection of the wisdom behind Bikram Yoga. 

Not just the surface level…

But the “why” behind the deeper spiritual and physical nature of the practice of Yoga.

This is knowledge that hasn’t been kept a secret on purpose. 

Over time, it simply wasn’t shared anymore…until it became buried, diluted and forgotten by many. 

My intent is to present the knowledge that could help so many take their practice to deeper levels, in the most authentic way I can. 

Introducing the first living library of authentic Bikram Yoga wisdom
presented by Jim Kallett

This audio series started the process of capturing the deep knowledge before it could be lost forever.

The episodes contain:

  • The healing science behind the practice of Asana 
  • Original stories from Bikram himself
  • Spiritual lineage from Yogananda to Bishnu Ghosh to Bikram
  • Direct answers to teacher questions
  • Exclusive original interviews with the late Emmy Cleaves, Rajashree Choudhury, medical researchers and other guests

These recordings have been unavailable for many years and we’re making them available now. 

This is information you can’t and won’t get anywhere else.

The Results Speak For Themselves

Austin Young wrote: "The way you articulate adjustments is intuitive and digestible. This is the kind of instruction I've been craving for years."

Michele Vennard, school owner, said: "Jim Kallett is arguably Bikram's most dedicated student... Jim's vigilant attention to detail over the years now benefits all of us as he can recite verbatim Bikram's stories, Bikram's teachings, and Bikram's intentions."

These aren't isolated stories.

They're representative of thousands of transformations I've witnessed over nearly three decades of providing "Medicine Without Prescriptions."

These days, many Yoga practices are incomplete. Sadly, most unwittingly believe they are relaying or receiving the full message, but it is with missing pieces that change the dynamic altogether.

Three Options Moving Forward

Option 1: Continue practicing and or teaching as you have been, with limited knowledge, persistent doubts, watching the authentic wisdom gradually fade from your practice and your being.

Option 2: Attempt to piece together this knowledge yourself—spending years collecting fragments of information from various sources, never quite sure if what you're learning is authentic.

Option 3: Access "An initial Library of Authentic Bikram Wisdom"  I've gathered over 30 years directly from Bikram himself and from teaching over 50,000 students.

Only one of these options will help you master, retain and live the deeper knowledge.
