Hot Yoga - Sweeping Away an Image
from: Martin HaworthThere are many benefits in using Bikram Yoga, which is a form of
yoga that can totally change your life.
Bikram Yoga or Bikram Method Yoga, is widely known as the "hot
yoga". And was developed by Bikram Choudhury, who is 60 this
year. Based now in the US, he is, of course, a yoga practitioner
himself and he developed Bikram Yoga after injuring himself in a
weightlifting accident.
Since then, many have proven the benefits of Bikram Yoga, so the
practice has grown.
Some people practice Bikram Yoga for healing purposes and
physical therapy. This type of yoga has proven helpful in
bringing holistic (whole body) benefits, to those who practice
it.
In order to be successful, with the healing processes, of Bikram
Yoga, you need real devotion, because it is practiced in rooms
with a recommended temperature of a minimum of 105 degrees
farenheit and about 40% humidity.
This temperature is important because:-
- It (ironically) keeps the body from overheating
- To protect the muscles allowing for deeper stretching
- So that toxins are encourage to be 'sweated out' through open
pores
- To thin the blood and encourage much better circulation
- It gives a better cardiovascular workout
- It improves muscle strength
- Fats in the body seem to be made more fluid and more easily
cleared from the body
With this type of yoga, muscles are given a thorough workover.
Cellular level lipids and proteins are reorganize optimally in
such conditions, allowing for better circulation.
Joint strength and muscular alignment are better co-ordinated
and together with strengthened bones, the organs of the immune
system within the bones (red marrow) are boosted. It is a
whole-body developmental experience.
The lymph nodes are massaged, lymph is pumped throughout the
body, and white blood cells are distributed throughout the body
as the lymphatic system works more efficiently.
Although there are some who do not believe in the benefits of
Bikram Yoga. Bikram Choudhury developed it with the help of
scientists from the University of Tokyo University Hospital.
They proved that Bikram Yoga has medical benefits including the
repairing of tissues and curing chronic ailments. As early as
1972 the findings and benefits were presented at an
International Medical Conference where it was confirmed
scientifically that Bikram Yoga has the ability to affect the
body internally.
Bikram has come up with twenty-six different posture exercises
which are related, each working with previous postures, in a
sequence, to treat the body effectively. This is a daily
experience, where possible to maximise the benefit.
Anyone who wants to do yoga can use Biktam Yoga. It is not age
specific. Because of the demanding nature of this type of yoga,
if the body is weak, applying the practice and consequent
healing will be difficult to achieve.
Thanks to Bikram Choudhury, we can now have some alternative
solutions to some of our medical problems which really have been
shown to be effective.
Always remember that the more you are able to practice this type
of yoga, the more beneficial it is, but be careful to ensure
that you are fit enough for it by having a medical check first.
