Bikram Yoga

Bikram yoga, nicknamed "High Temperature Yoga", was founded by yoga master bikram choudhury and his wife. It is a new favorite in the fitness industry in recent years. It features that classes are held in a room with a higher temperature (38 to 42 degrees Celsius), which allows the body temperature to increase rapidly, accelerating sweating and detoxification functions. Each lesson combines 26 yoga postures to help improve the flexibility of the body, strengthen muscles and various joints and ligaments, and ultimately achieve the goal of physical and mental relaxation. Suitable for beginners.

Bikram, an Indian, believes that practicing yoga without heating your body can easily be injured. It is like heating a piece of steel and easily changing its shape with a hammer. However, it is difficult to change its shape without heating it. Based on Hatha Yoga, bikram studied 26 movements and scientifically arranged them according to the characteristics of human muscles, ligaments and tendons. If the practitioner jumps to a certain movement without giving the relevant muscles preparation for exercise, it will be as uncomfortable as doing a hasty back somersault and the effort will be twice the effort. Each high-temperature yoga class takes about 90 minutes and teaches 26 stretching movements, including lying down, standing and cross-legged. This set of static movements of twisting, bending and stretching can directly stimulate the nervous and muscular system and improve spinal flexibility. It is especially suitable for office workers to practice.

Room at 38℃

The room where high-temperature yoga is practiced must maintain a high temperature of 38 ° C (higher than body temperature). The advantage of raising body temperature is that it can speed up blood circulation and soften muscles and bones that have been hardened due to lack of exercise. In this way, even a body that lacks exercise can more easily complete different stretching movements and is less likely to be injured. Therefore, high-temperature yoga is suitable for people who are beginners or who lack exercise for a long time.

Being in a room with such a high temperature will make you sweat in a short time, as if your body is warming up and you are naturally ready to do the following actions. Many people think that sweating a lot can help lose weight. In fact, it is because high temperatures speed up metabolism; but the most important thing is that some toxins can be excreted through sweating. After 90 minutes of practice, the body can return to a balanced state and deliver 100% of fresh blood filled with oxygen to all parts of the body. In addition to the effect of weight loss, because high-temperature yoga has the function of normalizing gland activity, long-term practice has a therapeutic effect on insomnia, migraine, low back pain, cervical spondylosis, gastrointestinal diseases, etc. In addition, practicing high-temperature yoga can also reduce facial wrinkles, make people feel young, enhance disease resistance, improve vision and hearing, mental and emotional health, and sharpen intuition.

"Bongha'i Yoga", also known as "Krishna Awareness", was rarely known to the world until the 1960s. It was not until Prabhupada, a great Indian saint, worked hard and went through hardships to spread it from India to the world. The world was fortunate to be able to share the nectar. "Krishna Awareness", an ancient spiritual law, can quickly spread around the world in this era and is rooted in different races, different traditions, different cultures, and different societies, demonstrating its eternal and powerful vitality. "Krishna Awareness" can be said to include the essence of all teachings and dharma, but only sincere and humble seekers can truly understand the mystery. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
