The “Sweating out of Toxins”…and Increases in White and Red Blood Cells…and the Twisting to STOP Blood flow, followed by release of the blood when untwisted and the blood flusing out “impurities” is ALL BUNK. There is NO empirical proof that ANY of these things happen. This is all Marketing. Having said that, this form of Yoga in the heat is an excellent wa yo to stretch and strengthen muscles, tendons, and ligaments. But again, all that other crap is bunk.
Doesn’t Indianrailways realize that the mind is part of the body? Im sure if he took his brain out of his head he would stop functioning as would I if I did it (Don’t try it at home kids). Hatha Yoga is for the mind/body complex. All one needs to do is look at a baby who learns and develops their mind through awareness through movement. Not through reading Bhagavad Gita which is a much later text than Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
I am a stupid blond woman and i love doing Idiots yoga in a hot room with lots of swetty wemen who do silent farts like me LOL, I pay $100 per month to be told how to exercise because Im so dumb that I cant even do that on my own, When I have sex I think about shoes which kinda explains why I have never expireanced a orgasm in my life, and if you tell me that fresh water is 100% fat free I will buy that too. So Yeh, Birkam yoga is great, all my frinds go their too.
Your body regulates the blood pressure so don’t worry if your getting naeseated or dizzy it’s normal, specially the first couple of session… it all good and a sign that your body is healing and restoring
uomofamoso you might suffer from too low or high blood pressure! When you get dizzy while forward bent you have too high blood pressure- getting dizzy while backward bend you have too low blood pressure…make sure you are hydrated enough before class so your not too thirsty…Bikram Yoga is amazing! Love it!
I so hope that is true. I’m never going to learn all I must learn in one life. Could you please explain how Bhakti yoga is beyond the gunas? In Hatha yoga we are taught the fruit of our actions do not belong to us. Our efforts are to be given up to the lord. I don’t practice to have a pleasing physique. When I practice, I am taking notes to alleviate the suffering of my students (by and large physical ailments). Is this some of the quality of Bhakti Yoga ?
as for your q abt failing. there are clear answers to all these in the BG. lord says those who practice and fail need not despair. if u dont achieve it this cycle, then you start off from the point where you left in next cycle. even to ask whoami needs lord’s grace after many many karmic cycles. surrender completely and see the awe results.
you are right. all i am saying is bikram yoga or hatha yoga is good only for the body. it will give you a well maintained disease free body. but that’s it. as u know yoga is not about body. there are 4 dif ways to the same destination – action or karma, knowledge or jnana, devotion or bhakti and mystic or hatha or raja yoga. only bhakti yoga is beyond the 3 gunas and it the easiest path mainly prescribed for this age of hypocrisy and quarrels.
I look around and I see good and bad. Those who are learning lessons, working off bad karma and serving the world. I also see some failing miserably. How best to help them? Patanjali gave us yoga. Yes I agree Bikram is a deush bag. Maybe it puts some on the path.
yes the 9 gated city was given for realizing the super soul. but on the contrary what do you see around? humans abusing their bodies for sense gratifications worse than animals.
first stop eating shitting fucking and sleeping like pigs and then advice others fucking piece of pathetic looser shit. fucking americans are going bankrupt and nuts by doing bikram ass yoga.
The physical yoga asanas use the body as a sign post to find the mind and eventually the soul. I mean this quite literally. It is not meant to glorify the body, but to harness it and direct its energies towards enlightenment. Why do you think we were given these human forms?
Bikram is an idiot who is abusing yoga for his own palate. Doing monkey acrobatics can never give emancipation. It may be good for the gross body. But what is the use of glorifying the perishable gross body which is made of 12 impurities – Oily exudations,Semen,Blood,Fatty substance of the brain,Urine,Faeces,Mucus of the nose,Ear-wax,Phlegm,Tears,Rheum of the eyes and Sweat.
After all, the gross body ends up as stool for worms. In some cultures the dead corpse is thrown to the vultures.
this is an excellent yoga all around and it has its place in the world of excercise yoga. But beyond this Bikram Yoga really helps one to get beyond the senses and the mind and into the vital breath of existence which is spoken of in the Upanishads.
Not being funny dudes. But have you ever met a Yogi in the Himalayas (Yoga heartland). They practice (sometimes nude or with little clothing) in freezing tempreatures. I can’t see any of these Bikram followers mananging that. But if it makes you happy and healthy it’s good, I suppose!
