Title:bikram yoga Author:Anand Description:A simple Description about bikram yoga Bikram Yoga Bikram (hot or fire) yoga is a sequence of yoga poses done in a heated room. Usually the room temperature is maintained at ~40°C (105°F). This energetic yoga session at this temperature helps in warming-up of body and sweating, gets rid of toxins from the body, and also makes the body more flexible. Bikram yoga consists of 26 exercises, divided into asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises). Asanas and pranayama depend on each other to get the best output. The extension and compression process affects blood circulation massively, delivers fresh oxygen to every joints, muscle and internal organs. The heated yoga studios eases deeper stretching, prevents injury, and reduces stress and tension. In pranayama the lungs should be stretched and as time goes you will be able to withstand holding more oxygen. Circulation is temporarily cut down while doing particular asana. This control of flow of blood causes the heart to pump more blood. The word extension means Pumping of excess and fresh blood. When you come out of asanas, then the new oxygenated blood is able to refresh the compressed arteries. Since there is change in volume of blood flow toxins, any infection, bacteria etc. can be released.
