teachers never demonstrate, even when correcting it's all verbal with no visual or energy, it's the blind leading the blind in class so this video was extremely helpful to have a bird's eye view of how the posture is supposed to look like.

[@lutes888]

This is the best 60 min video available. Can't get enough of this teacher!

Excellent Bikram instruction! Definitely one of the very best I've experienced in over 20 years of live and online classes.

[@almacarrasco5070]

Gary Olson’s masterful teaching style and very effective flow sequence are unparalleled in my experience. After taking his hot power yoga classes for 10 years, I moved to Arizona 3.5 years ago and been regularly performing sports (swimming 1.5 miles 3 times a week and cycling 70 miles a week), in addition to almost daily hot Bikram’s yoga. After a long absence from Kirkland and Gary’s classes, I thought I’d be in my best shape ever and easily tackle his class. And yet his hot power yoga class was more effective than ever: I was physically spent and mentally relaxed and refreshed. I felt clean inside out and ready to tackle the day. No sport or physical activity leaves me so refreshed and clear-minded like Gary Olson’s uniquely effective sequence and class. Thank you, Gary! You are the very best! Namaste

[@chaskiintl]

I missed my regular 60 minute hot yoga class this morning and stumbled upon this video. I loved hearing the old school Bikram references and language in the instructions. It reminds me of when I first started practicing seven years ago. I’ll be back for more. Thank you so much for this wonderful class.

[@debradipiazza844]

Thank you for being the most accommodating of Bikram teachers. The notion that it’s how it feels and the benefits that accrue, rather than looking exactly “right,” is a notion foreign to so many Bikram instructors (one of who actually said to someone who was struggling with a pose, “We don’t fit the yoga to the body. We fit the body to the yoga.”)

[@Fromtheearttothemoon]

Love Love this class thank you is my first time doing it and LOVE IT ❤❤❤

[@microfx]

I was wishing every second that he would shut his mouth ... sounded like an auctioneer ... super high stress level. I want to fight him! I'm aggressive after watching this!

[@christyis1270]

@@microfx There are other classes I’ve felt that way about because every savasana is used to tout their expertise and the topic of ‘them’ has drained me. I don’t find that here and I appreciate this teacher’s knowledge and respect for the practice. I’m very grateful for all the teachers who are providing their videos at this time whether they suit me personally or not, it’s generous and kind. This mask up, lockdown is TOTAL BS and yoga is my lifeline for what’s left of the world’s sanity. Bikram recently uploaded his famous ninety minute class too, pure Gold from the boss man himself.
