Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Chrism, I am contemplating renewing my yoga membership. But I seem to be hesitating so I'm checking in with you. It is Hot Yoga, Hatha yoga done is a room heated to 95-100 degrees. I have a powerful reaction, it feels like the energy is hitting blocks and pushing them out. But is this " heat generating " yoga a style I should avoid? Thank you very much. Carla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hot yoga or otherwise known as Bikram Yoga isnt so much a " heat generating " form of yoga as it is merely a yoga format done in a hot room. It would be best if you did these very same yoga forms outside in the fresh living air. By " living " I mean air that is full of life. Everything from microbes and spores and all manner of life that we breathe in from the air. Prana is also easily taken in this way and with the yoga forms done on both sides of the body can be assimilated to the benefit of the body and its Kundalini. Inside of the Kundalini awakening, stressing of the body through heat or cold is un-needed as the Kundalini will impose these conditions upon the person anyway within its own measures. So I suggest that you do these forms but under conditions that allow for a maximum intake of prana as can be gained from " living air " . - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thank you... that explains why I enjoyed yoga in the backyard so much this past summer. Currently it is -20 C, which is -4 F for all of you down south. It's chilly even for us in Canada, so no outside yoga for a few months 2008/12/16 chrismming41 <chrismming41: > Hot yoga or otherwise known as Bikram Yoga isnt so much a " heat > generating " form of yoga as it is merely a yoga format done in a hot > room.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Then the inside of your home as opposed to the extremes would be best. Take the middle path in this is what I will suggest for you. I do enjoy and will suggest the 28 or so postures used in the Bhikram School. Make sure you do BOTH sides of the body. - blessings and warm hearts and hearth to you! - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
