9 reasons to practice Bikram yoga ( HOT 26) in a hot room


① Muscles, fascia and connective tissue become more elastic allowing for greater flexibility with less chance of injury

② Warm muscles burn fat more effectively. When we stretch, the fat has no room to sit so it redistributes to the blood stream which we then use as energy

③ Blood becomes thinner which clears the circulatory system
When the body is warm, T-cell output from the thymus gland is multiplied 20 fold. T-cells fight infection which in turn keeps the immune system functioning properly

④ Warmer temperatures produce 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 Capillaries respond to heat by dilating. This allows more oxygen to muscles, tissues, glands and organs helping in the removal of waste products

⑦ Higher temperatures improve the function of the nervous system, meaning that messages are carried more rapidly to and from the brain or spinal cord (you think more clearly)

⑧ Improves strength because proteins can be utilised more effectively
Speeds up the breakdown of glucose and fatty acids

⑨ Provides strengthening of willpower, self control and determination through the challenging environment

Get your 𝔂𝓲𝓷 𝓸𝓷 On !

Did you know there are a variety of techniques for uncurling our bodies and thoughts and tending to that underlying fire?

One of them is 𝔂𝓲𝓷 𝔂𝓸𝓰𝓪 and how it cultivates traits like 𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑒𝑡, 𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦, and 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟．

It's a method to embrace the pause. Here are three yin practice ideas that are both easy and effective:

1． Come into the pose to an appropriate depth.
2． Resolve to be still.
3． Rest in the posture for some time.

𝓨𝓲𝓷 𝔂𝓸𝓰𝓪 allows for close engagement in the developing present and allows for new insights into the body's landscapes, energy flows, and consciousness.

Evolve Hot Yoga is here to empower you. We offer a 90min Yin Yoga class every Saturday at 9.30am

- Team Evolve/ CCLCF

This body is not me,
I am not limited by this body.
I am life without boundaries.

I have never been born,
and I have never died.

Look at the infinite oceans and skies filled with stars,
Manifestations from the basis of consciousness

Since beginningless time I have been free.
Birth and death are only doors through which we pass,
sacred thresholds on our journey.

Birth and death are a game of hide-and-seek.
So laugh with me,
hold my hand,
let us say good-bye,
say good-bye, to meet again soon.

We meet today,
We will meet again tomorrow.
We will meet at the source every moment.
We meet each other in all forms, on the myriad paths of life.

~ Thích Nhất Hạnh, "No Death, No Fear"

Lets Talk 𝒴𝒾𝓃 𝒴ℴℊ𝒶 💚

A ᗷᗴᗩᑌTIᖴᑌᒪ, ᑫᑌIᗴT practice, and is suitable for all levels of students in a non-heated room.

𝒴𝒾𝓃 𝒴ℴℊ𝓈 is a slow-paced, therapeutic style of yoga. 𝒴𝒾𝓃 postures are more passive postures, mainly done on the floor either seated or lying down. There are no sun salutations, no planks, no warriors, no jump throughs! There is in fact no dynamic movement and usually no standing poses at all.

𝒴𝒾𝓃 𝒴ℴℊ𝒶 is unique in that you are asked to relax into the posture, allowing the body to soften and release naturally without pushing or straining. It is not uncommon for postures to be held for three to five minutes, even 10 minutes at a time. The time spent in these postures is much like time spent in meditation, as the mind shifts from yang to yin, or from active to passive.

The key to practicing 𝒴𝒾𝓃 𝒴ℴℊ𝒶 is finding stillness in each position. The goal is to access the deeper tissues of the body, such as connective tissue and fascia, and many of the postures focus on areas that encompass a joint such as the hips, sacrum, spine.

The term “yin yoga” comes from the Taoist tradition. While yang relates to movement and creating heat in the body. Yin is about finding stillness and cooling the body. We need both the yin and the yang to find balance and stay in optimal health throughout every stage of our lifespan.

The Benefits of Yin Yoga
꧁ Improved Sleep
꧁ Increased Circulation
꧁ Reduces Stress and Anxiety
꧁ Increases Flexibility and Range of Motion
꧁ Promotes Self-Love
꧁ Builds Strength and Perseverance
꧁ Releasing Stored Emotions
꧁ Encourages Slowing Down
꧁ Shifting into the Parasympathetic Nervous System
꧁ A Meditative Mind
꧁ Cultivates Gratitude and Joy

𝒴𝒾𝓃 𝒴ℴℊ𝒶 is particularly good for those who think they don’t have time or don’t need it! It is a wonderful practice for A Type personality, Vata Ayurveda types, anyone suffering from stress, anxiety or depression, and anyone looking to improve flexibility, still the mind, and find a way to step out of the daily grind into a place of tranquility ☮️

You are holding a cup of coffee ☕️ when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere 😱

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Well because someone bumped into me, of course!" 👌

Wrong answer! 😳

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup! ☕️

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea 🍵

Whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out. 😲

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you, (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled 🐍

So we have to ask ourselves...
“What’s in my cup?" 🤔

When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?
Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?

You choose! 🙌

Today lets work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness and love for others. Start your year off on a new path 👏💕👏

Choose YOU 💛 Choose Awesome 💛Choose Yoga 💛

Let's talk about Triangle Pose ( Trikonasana)

Trikonasana for Everybody/EVERYBODY'S BODY 🧘🏾‍♀️

It is a standing asana that mainly increases the flexibility and strength of the legs and side waist. Unlike most of the Yoga Asanas, this asana is done with open eyes 👀

In this Yoga Asana, our body looks like a triangle or Trikona, this is the reason why we call it Triangle Pose or Trikonasana.

Triangle Pose mainly strengthens the muscle of the waist, core, hamstrings, thighs, knees, and ankles. It is a good way to open the muscles of the hips, hamstrings, and spine.

So basically it is overall a great stretching posture that provides excellent flexibility to the body with added benefits 🙌🌈

What is Jivamukti Yoga ?

Jivamukti yoga is a modern hybrid style of yoga that was created and branded by artist David Life and musician/dancer Sharon Gannon.

The name comes from the Sanskrit jiva (individual living soul) and mukti (the freeing from the eternal cycle of death and rebirth). Therefore, the full name implies liberation while still living on Earth.

The five basic principles of Jivamukti yoga are:

Meditation (dhyana)
Music (nada)
Non-violence (ahimsa)
Devotion (bhakti)
Scripture (shastra)

It is a highly physical and vigorous style of yoga that takes its basic moves from traditional Hatha yoga.

Anahata: The Heart Chakra

This week’s yoga is based on the Heart. When creating the sequence I enjoy researching both the philosophy and the physical aspect of a yoga theme. When I came across the following description of Anahata, I thought it would be good to dwell in the inexhaustible treasures of love.’

From Yoga (school of philosophy)
“The Anāhata Chakra is one of the most beautiful and richest Chakras, and invites us to dwell longer in its inexhaustible treasures of delightful feelings and experiences. It is located in the region of the heart, in the centre of the chest, and this is why it is also known as the Heart Centre. And it is not without reason that the heart is regarded as the symbol of love, for the Anāhata Chakra is the seat of love.”
