Bikram Yoga The new hot trend Bikram Yoga is a new form of yoga comprising of a series of 26 postures (asanas) and two breathing exercises (pranayamas). It is suitable for all ages and levels of ability. Bikram Yoga is held for a short duration, usually each session runs for approximately 90 minutes. Each posture stretches and strengthens specific muscles, ligaments and joints needs for the next posture. It also helps to promote strength, balance, focus and flexibility, as well as cultivated a connection between mind and body.   What is special about Bikram Yoga is that it is held in a heated studio with temperature over 100 Fahrenheit. The heat is provided in a safe environment for the body’s muscles to relax and loosen. This method helps to stimulate the organs, glands, nerves and allowing an increase in blood circulation and the body’s natural cleansing system activating the sweat glands.   When practicing Bikram Yoga you should dress lightly and try to practice with an empty stomach and an open mind. Try not to eat at least two hours before class and try to stay hydrated throughout the day as well as after class. It is recommended that you bring plenty of water when you attend class, towel and a yoga mat. It is also recommended that you do not wear strong perfumes.   As we have mentioned earlier, Bikram Yoga is suitable for all ages and various level of ability.

Health Topics Relaxation techniques Stress will always be a part of your life. It can happen with positive changes such as getting married, or with negative changes, such as the death of a loved one. Stress, especially negative kinds of stress, can contribute to or even cause illnesses, such as headaches, low back pain, or stomach problems.	Wikipedia Definition: Wellness Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being. It has been used in the context of alternative medicine since Halbert L. Dunn, M.D., began using the phrase high level wellness in the 1950s. The modern concept of wellness did not, however, become popular until the 1970s.   The term has been defined by the Wisconsin-based National Wellness Institute as an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence. This is consistent with a shift in focus away from illness in viewing human health, typical of contexts where the term wellness is used. In other words, wellness is a view of health that emphasizes the state of the entire being and its ongoing development.   The phrase can also be seen as an analogue to the medical term "homeostasis".   Wellness can also be described as "the constant, conscious pursuit of living life to its fullest potential."
