House of OM
Story:
Bikram or “hot yoga” for the rest of us, is a flowing vinyasa style yoga practiced in a room maintained at 95°-105° and 40% humidity. If it sounds like exercising in a sauna, it is! The House of OM takes the hot yoga phenom one step further by introducing body moving music to the experience. Yoga, by itself, is a spiritual exercise but when you further stimulate the exercise with feeling and sound, you discover a whole new level of OM – Welcome to the House of OM
