Do What Works
In 2003, Roxanne Giles opened Bikram Yoga Maroochydore on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises. Each posture stretches and strengthens specific muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints needed for the next posture. The Bikram method also stimulates the organs, glands, and nerves moving fresh oxygenated blood to 100% of the body helping to restore all systems to a healthy working order.
Strong Spine equals a Strong Mind
Here are 10 good reasons
1. Warm muscles burn fat more effectively.
2. When we stretch fat it has nowhere to sit so it redistributes back to the blood stream to then be reused as energy.
3. Speeds up the breakdown of glucose and fatty acids.
4. A warmer temperature produces a fluid like stretch that allows for greater range of motion in the joints.
5. Heart rate becomes elevated which improves the cardiovascular system (heart and lungs).
6. Blood becomes thinner which clears the circulatory system.
7. Promotes sweating which assists the detoxification process using the body's largest organ.
8. Muscles, fascia and connective tissue become more elastic allowing for greater flexibility with less chance of injury.
9. Capillaries respond to heat by dilating, this allows more oxygen to muscles, tissues glands and organs helping with the removal of waste products.
10. Teaches you determination, and focus in a challenging environment.
