Why Bikram Yoga is So Hot

...ed by Bikram yoga students are the ability to relax at will, an improvement in physical balance, strengthening of the back, a flatter and more toned abdomen, and improved digestion. If you have poor circulation, pay particular attention to the inverted poses, as these will help with that condition.

Always go through the whole program, remembering to breathe slowly through your nose. There is no need to hurry or stress. Do what you can and don't push yourself to the point of pain.

The workout is designed to end with relaxation. You'll be ready to go meet the world afresh!
