Q. Why is the room heated?
Bikram Yoga Vancouver is also known as "Hot Yoga" because it is practiced in a heated room. This unique aspect is packed with benefits!
- Your body burns fat more effectively
- Increases suppleness and elasticity of muscles, ligaments and other supporting structures of the body, allowing for greater flexibility with less chance of injury.
- Dilates capillaries more effectively, oxygenating tissues, muscles, glands, organs and increasing the removal of waste products.
- Increases metabolism, accelerating the breakdown of glucose and fatty acids.
- Increases cardiovascular workout.
- Leads to sweating which promotes detoxification.
- Just as when your body raises its temperature to fight infection, the elevated temperatures in the yoga room improve T-cell function and strengthen the immune system.
- Improves the nervous system as messages are carried more efficiently to and from your brain.
- Strengthens willpower, self control, concentration, and determination.
