Bikram Yoga is my
choice of exercise. 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
