Health Benefits to Practicing Yoga

I started doing yoga, primarily bikram yoga about 3 years ago here in Austin at Yogagroove. I noticed changes in my body within a few weeks of taking classes. From learning to breath deeper, relax and concentrate on the postures, I felt more open to the energy yoga brings into your soul. The benefits of yoga are enormous. Not only are you becoming more flexible, but your are burning a high amount of calories by breathing deeper, especially in a bikram class, and you are working on your core body strength. Yoga consists of various poses which open your internal organs up to release toxins and get your blood flow racing. Not only are you burning fat, lowering your cholesterol, and releasing nasty toxins from your body, you are also working on your inner being. Having the ability to clear your mind, and focus on the balance of body, mind and spirit is what every yogi truly believes in. It's a great experience!
