Welcome to ilove :YOGA.  This page features the author’s favorite physical activity – BIKRAM YOGA!  Type O thrives in rigorous exercise and  Bikram Yoga (BY) is one "rigorous" physical activity. BY is "a 90 minute program consisting of a series of 26 postures including two breathing exercises. Each posture stretches, strengthens and prepares specific muscles, ligaments and joints needed for the next posture. BY also stimulates the organs, glands and nerves, allowing fresh oxygenated blood to be transported to the whole body, restoring all systems to a healthy working order." -BYM

Bikram "delivers total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body in order to prevent illness and injury, promote weight loss and limit the effects of aging. Bikram Yoga series is physically demanding and may not be for everyone. To facilitate stretching and encouraging the body to detoxify itself through sweat, Bikram Yoga is done in a heated room with temperatures kept at 38°C and an average humidity of 60 percent. This is done to warm your muscles, prevent injury, allow a deeper workout and cleanse the body by flushing toxins out."-BYM
