Bikram Yoga is a fixed sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises, practised in a room heated to around 40°C for 90 minutes.
This repeated structure supports flexibility, detox through sweat and strength, while building focus and discipline. La House of Pulse carries this practice forward at the Port of Nice, where hot yoga first took root in the city.

The 26&2 method
The sequence pairs 26 Hatha yoga postures with 2 breathing exercises, always in the same order. Practised in the heat, it softens the muscles, accompanies detox and strengthens the body session after session. Its consistency is its strength: you measure progress against the same structure, week after week.
Heritage
Bikram Yoga traces its roots to the lineage of Bishnu Ghosh and spread worldwide from the 1970s, when the 26&2 sequence was codified for a heated room. In Nice, La House of Pulse is the evolution of the city's longstanding home of hot yoga, a house that honours this tradition while opening it to new practices.
