Hot Yoga

The key to staying fit is finding exercises that you actually enjoy! I used to think that yoga was just breathing and stretching, and couldn't really replace a work out. I had tried it a few times, and it felt great, invigorating, but I never felt like it was an effective way to shed pounds. Readers, if you haven't tried hot yoga, you are seriously missing out! There are many kinds of yoga and hot yoga, but I recommend Bikram hot yoga. It comprises 26 poses which were developed by Bikram Choudhury from Hatha Yoga. The poses are done in sequence, and each is repeated. These poses work every part of the body. The room is heated to 105F or 40C (which I think is relaxing all on its own). Why the heat? The warmth allows your muscles to loosen, and for you to push your body. The heat combined with the yoga purifies your body, eliminating toxins, waste, and other impurities. When I left that studio, I felt like a new person.
