Bikram Yoga

At first, when I heard the word "yoga", a group of fit, middle-aged people doing gentle stretches came to mind. Thats why I said, "Sure, I'll do yoga, as long as my brother comes."

Of course, the fact that the "gentle stretches" are near impossible or that the room we are to be doing yoga in is heated up over 100 degrees never struck me. I felt like I was doing acrobatics in the desert.

Yoga does wonders for the body. It relieves stress and strengthens the body. It stretches the interal organs and releases hormones and enzymes, putting the body back into balance.

The first day did not end well. I had a headache from moving from a hot room into the cold air, and pretty much moped around for the rest of the day. My body was unused to the excersize, showing how poor my health was. The next day I experienced less nausea and felt more rejuvenated afterwards.
