Mr. Ian Terry founded YogaFX on a single premise: passionate yogis should not have to choose between authentic, high-quality training and an internationally recognised qualification. YogaFX offers both.

04Our mission

More than a physical practice

Yoga as a complete path to healing, transformation and personal growth.

We are especially committed to helping people overcome Stress, Anxiety and Depression (SAD) through authentic yoga education, emotional support and a strong sense of community.

  1. Preserve the authentic 26&2 sequence
  2. Make hot yoga education accessible
  3. Raise awareness of mental health and self-care
  4. Build a global community of confident, compassionate teachers

Yoga is not a substitute for medical care. If you are living with depression or anxiety, please consult a healthcare professional.

10The method

The Original Bikram Hot 26&2

The same postures, in the same order, every time.

Because the same postures come in the same order every time, the class works every muscle group and builds strength, balance, flexibility and mental clarity. Many students experience it as a moving meditation. It is suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

A randomised clinical trial reported preliminary evidence that heated yoga reduced depression symptoms more than a waitlist control.

Individual results vary, and yoga is not a substitute for medical care.
