Hot Yoga: Energizing, Rejuvenating, Healing Book

(Ref: BSbk-hf-004)

This title outlines Hot Yoga - based on Bikram Yoga. Bikram yoga is a system offering a series of 26 postures, designed to restore vitality, heal and help prevent a range of common chronic ailments. It differs from traditinal yoga, as it is performed in a heated room, equipped with mirrors - hence the name hot yoga (which Bikram himself does not use). The room is heated to at least 100F (38C). The postures are easy to learn, and can be approached from any level of strength and flexibility. The theory is that when the body is cold it is difficult to move. Warmed up muscles make the body more pliable, so that you can achieve a deeper stretch. The heat also helps to flush out toxins and impurities.
