HOT YOGA

Hot Yoga

The joy of yoga in hot temperatures.

Outdoor Exercise? We’ve all used to it. In the air-conditioned room was familiar. Have You tried yoga in room which its temperature is 37-40 degrees Celsius?

The movement in HOT FLOW or often called HOT YOGA is the basic movement which relatively can be done by anyone. (Although, there is still provision, HOT YOGA participants should have mastered the basics of yoga). So it was not for the intermediate that need tremendous flexibility.

But because the condition of every person is different, then the instructor must adapt to the participants. For example, the standing tall movement and then bend down and leaned his forehead to the calf. Not everyone can do it easily. You can do it alone, or with the help of the block, or rope that can get closer to the foot.

At the beginning of the exercise, we will be asked to do pranayama, or breathing exercises. By doing eight repetition, led to some balance poses done while standing. Then some sit poses (which some also require a balance). Followed with some lie down pose, and finally closed with breathing and relaxation settings again.

During the exercise, there is no movement required under the head. Only just 2 movements, and even then classified as not difficult to do much less time.

Why? Because the hot conditions, our blood pressure is usually higher than usual. GThe movement was not good for their hypertension. After the exercise, it was our turn breath settings. The method used, kapalabhati (exhale quickly and and rhythmicaly through the mouth). Approximately 45 seconds, the aim is to remove heat from the body.

Finished doing kapalabhati, we felt relieved. Indeed, if you do it seriously, we will feel relieved. After that, like general practice of yoga, it was Savasana session. The difference, in Hot Yoga, the lay still session and his breath does not last long. Simply 45 seconds. If Savasana still feels lacking. We are invited to lie down and rest in the other cooler room.

So  fresh. Want to try?
