It's worth trying out different styles of yoga to see which suits you best.Emma (from Barre Body)http://www.barrebody.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5400812417097682780.post-62346346259342124092012-05-24T09:51:04.667+10:002012-05-24T09:51:04.667+10:00Bikram yoga, knowingly, a set of 26yoga postures p...Bikram yoga, knowingly, a set of 26yoga postures practiced in the 36C of heat for 90 mins. It was in one of the Sex and the City’s episodes, that Kim and Carrie both were whispering through their Bikram yoga class with (of course!) the Master Bikram (I’d love to believe that’s himself!) in presence! Well, Australia is boring (and still is, at least sometimes), so anything from the States will carry big or small excitement – at least we hope. Not long after the episode was aired, it was (nearly) suddenly, few of the Bikram yoga studios opened in Melbourne.<br /> <br />My first practice of Bikram yoga was done in early 2009. Due to personal un-fitness (my personal beliefs as I couldn’t run and I couldn’t lift heavy weights etc – Well, I wasn’t trained at the time), I figured out that hot yoga might be the best way to get fit, especially all studio offer a $19 for the first 10 days deal. Still remembered my first few Bikram yoga classes – extremely hot, feeling dehydrated, inflexible joints, etc, then all sorts of discomfort forced me to cope with by lying on my back for the ‘dead body’ posture, whilst others were sweating and completing the rest of poses with concentration.<br /> <br />Did I survive? Yes! & benefits were shown – I lost 3 kgs in the first three days. Well, some may will argue the extreme weight loss in the three consecutive days might be resulted in loss of water and mainly, combined with the change of diet etc, but my own body fat was still there. I know… The 3 kgs were really the true motivation for me to continue practicing – discomfort was still there, but I spend less and less time lying on my back. After finishing the first 10 days at one studio, I moved onto the other one, and so on.Lily Liaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324270444185978577noreply@blogger.com
