Hot Yoga promises relaxation and fewer injuries

Hot Yoga promises relaxation and fewer injuries

Abroad, hot yoga is the favorite mode of celebrities like Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr ... Around here , the practice has been winning more and more fans. The technique - which is also referred to as Bikram Yoga, because of its inventor the guru Bikram Choudhury - is recognized for activating the circulatory system, improving flexibility and relaxing the mind. In 1973, the Indian took the method to the United States by opening the Yoga Faculty of India in Beverly Hills, California. The guru taught former US President Richard Nixon that thanks to hot yoga classes he got rid of having to amputate a leg due to a thrombosis.

How does the lesson

Hot Yoga

The class consists of performing 26 different poses practiced for an hour and a half in a room heated to 40 degrees Celsius - hence the name "hot". The sequence of poses is repeated during class - some being held for only 10 seconds and others held for one minute. But why the heat? "The warm environment facilitates blood circulation, which reduces discomfort in those who do not have much flexibility and reduces the risk of injury," explains Adílson Pagan, a practice teacher in Curitiba who was a student of guru Bikram. The activity also favors the caloric burning. The average expenditure is estimated between 500 and 700 kcal, according to the intensity the participant can exercise.
The high temperature also contributes to a better distribution of the oxygen to the muscles and rest of the body, and speeds up the elimination process of toxins through perspiration. Sweat is a product of our excretion, which eliminates impurities from the body. According to the professor, the technique is a real remedy for brain activity and for emotional ills. "Hot yoga gives you more energy, improves your mental concentration and favors the ability to balance your emotions, being efficient for ailments like depression and anxiety," says Adilson.

Care

Hot yoga is an intense practice - beginners they practice lighter movements. Some people may feel weak and a little dizzy at first, so the presence of an accredited instructor is key. "Class is not contraindicated for people who have circulatory problems brought on by variations in pressure or diabetes," says Adilson. "It is enough that it is done with a recognized professional and after a medical evaluation."
According to the teacher, the most important part is discipline. "To get results, both physical and mental, we need to attend classes regularly for the body to get used to the heat and the positions." It is also recommended that the student drink plenty of water all day long to practice hot yoga, because of the dehydration that the class causes, as well as to wear cool clothes.
