Bikram Yoga (Hot Yoga)
Bring a towel, yoga mat, dress lightly, and expect to sweat, have fun and work hard.
Bikram's Hatha Yoga system is a series of 26 asanas,or poses,and 2 breathing exercises,or pranayamas, which work the entire body in 90 minutes. The asanas work synergistically and cumulatively to return the body, mind, soul to an energetic, balanced state. Yoga builds energy, stamina and flexibility. It incorporates strength, challenge, gravity, balancing, and most importantly, the tourniquet effect. The technique allows the stretching, squeezing, and massaging of internal organs, flushing out the cardiovascular system and stimulating the endocrine and nervous systems in order to release any deficient hormones and enzymes.
The body itself is self regulating and adjusting. It knows what and how much it needs, it just needs to be boosted when out of balance. This yoga series brings you into perfect balance each time you practice.
"A helpful hint: "perfect" is the best you can do that day. How quickly you progress will depend entirely on you-upon your natural ability to a small extend, but mostly upon the honest time and effort you give to the Yoga. Here there is no comparison to those around you. It's a daily practice that is all about you, and your own progression from the point at which you began. Take this class EVERYDAY FOR THE NEXT 2 MONTHS AND YOU WILL HAVE A NEW LIFE...that's a promise!" Bikram Choudhury
