Why 105 degrees?

Yoga changed the construction of the body from the inside out, from bone to skin and from the fingertips to the toes. So before you change it, you have to heat it to soften, due to a warm body is a flexible body. Then you can reshape your body any way you want.

Hatha Yoga flushes away waste products, toxins of all glands and organs of your body. Provide natural irrigation of the body through the circulatory system, with the help of the respiratory system. It brings nourishments for each cell of your body so that each can perform the functions and keep your body healthy.

Practicing yoga not only increase our supply of oxygen, but also teaches us how to use oxygen properly - we learn to control the breath through pranayama.


Your Progress

How quickly you progress will depend entirely on you - on your natural ability to a small, but most of the time and effort you give to Yoga. It will have little to do with how "perfectly" you can do the pose.

Few of us ever do the poses "perfectly". Instead, it should do with how well you understand what you want to accomplish in each pose, how you try to achieve your goals, and how supple your muscles and joints have become in comparison to the point where you start. In Yoga there is no standard of comparison except yourself. To Be 'Perfect' in Yoga is to do the best you can do.

Bikram teaches you not only the ideal pose - how you will finally be able to do so - but also the reality - say what you will have problems when you try to do the pose, what clues will help you make rapid progress, and where you may be tempted to "cheat ", thus depriving themselves of interest to pose correctly. Bikram explains to you, by his inimitable humorous and informative, how scientifically designed series of twenty-six poses will enhance mind and body, relax, strengthen, reshape, and heal all of you in 90 minutes.
