5 Reasons Why I Love Bikram Hot Yoga...


1.  The Cleansing Effect is like no other. Since this type of yoga is done in a hot room (101 degrees), you sweat profusely which is great for detoxification and cleansing the body.  You will be amazed at how wonderful your skin looks!

2.  Mind, Body and Spirit Connection.  In today's world, especially with a toddler at home, its difficult to find time just for myself to relax, think and rejuvenate my body.  Hot yoga is the perfect place to do this as for 90 minutes, I can be with myself and get in touch with my mind, body and spirit.  This practice, as disciplined as it is, has taught me that the spirit controls the mind, the mind controls the breath and the breath controls the body. If you understand this and apply it to your daily life (and stressful situations), it will change your world.


3.  Look Leaner.  It isn't a magic mirror, it's reality.  Not only does hot yoga burn calories in a heated room to help shed unwanted weight, but it also helps to tone, lengthen and stretch your muscles, improve your posture, balance and co-ordination. It's amazing! .


4.  Nobody cares.  Its the only place on earth where you can wear only bootie shorts and a sports bra, sweat like a pig and nobody cares, even if you have a muffin top! 

5.  It's so good, it keeps me coming back.  So much so, that I cancelled my 20 year long gym membership! The effect is incomparable.
