Bikram Yoga: Lesson 2 (the rabbit pose)

The rabbit, or the sasangasana, is an inverted yoga pose that provides excellent traction on your back, shoulders and upper extremities. As you turn your body in an inward position, your back will have a good stretch followed by elongation of your spine. With the spine properly lengthened, the circulation of your blood will improve, allowing your nervous system to receive its proper nutrition.The placement of your upper torso helps relieve pressure from your back and shoulders all the way up to your neck and head. It also balances your hormones, stimulates your thyroid gland and improves your immune capacity. For people suffering from sinusitis, colds or congestion, tonsillitis, laryngitis, upper airway allergies and glandular problems, this position is the best way to find relief.

I unfortunately, have big boobs, unlike the girl in the photo so they completely get in the way.  I end up squeezing to my chest as much as I can, but end up suffocating in my cleavage.  LOL!   There’s nothing you can do at this point, but try your best.

I took Juan for his first session.  Good job!  He did better than me!

Bikram: Lesson 1

I went to one session of Bikram on Tuesday and I immediately feel lighter.  All the fat that has been growing on my  little love handles, due to bad diet, just melted.  It helps too that I played volleyball for 5 hours yesterday too.  And I’ve been eating light.  Mostly protein bars, yoghurt and fruit.  With 1 good meal a day.  Anyhow, every teacher has a different teaching style, and inform us of different facts throughout the class and each session you learn something new.  So I am starting a new section in my blog: the Bikram Lesson’s section.

LESSON 1:

I learned when certain areas of circulation are cut off in tight poses when you release, the blood flowing circulates problems away.  Scar tissue, and previous injuries and surgeries will heal better.  Bikram has great healing powers.

THE BENEFITS OF BIKRAM YOGA

  • Increased willpower and mental strength.
  • Improves posture.

Bikram Yoga, commonly known as hot yoga.  Beginning Yoga classes run 90 minutes, incorporates a series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises, and is ideally practiced in a room heated to 105°F with a humidity of 40%.  I use to do Yoga 3x a week and go to the gym 3x a week.  I can’t wait for my little girl to start Kingergarden so that I have time to go again. ;D

The 26 Postures.

My favorite pose.  Once you get into it, the stretch is so deep, it feels so good, and you can hold it forever.

I use to go to the one on Rainbow but they changed it from Bikram to Vinyasa.  There is a Summerlin Bikram and Green Valley Ranch location now.
