When was the last time you came home from work feeling well rested, relaxed and energized? Sounds like ages ago for me but that all changed with yoga. Every day I do some yoga stretches, and I no longer feel tired and troubled anymore or wonder if I still have enough energy to go home, cook meals or spend time with friends.
Stress in work is always a serious matter since it represents major impacts on your general health. In fact according to the American Medical Association (AMA), 80% to 85% of all human illnesses and discomforts are all stress-related. Each week, about 95 million Americans are suffering from any stress-related symptom; you can start counting with high-blood pressure, migraines, lower back pains and the list goes on and on.

My friend and I checked out this new yoga class in L.A. called Bikram yoga aka Hot Yoga. This type of yoga is very popular in L.A. so we decided to take a class. OMG!!!!!!!!!, the classroom was heated up to like 100 degrees. I didn’t think I could survive. I sweated like I have never sweated before in my life. I probably lost 10 lbs in that 90 minute class. Supposedly this type of yoga is designed as a rejuvenating exercise that strenghtens the body from head to toe. Not only can you drop a significant amount of weight doing a couple of classes, your flexibity increases too! Doing some of the poses was easier for me to do since I was in a heated room. For people who are new to yoga or would like to try a different style, go check out Bikram yoga studios in your area. Trust me when I say you’ll be dripping with sweat. It was a great class and me and my friend plan on going back next week. Here’s a link to find one near you:
