Here it is folks, are you looking for beauty in all the wrong places? I am sorry to say slathering all the cream in the world will not give you the hot body that you crave. There is no quick fixes, miracle pills or super slimming potions, getting the hottest body on the block is going to take a lot of hard work and sweat. I do mean sweat, have you heard of Bikram Yoga...Bikram is a systematic series of hatha yoga posses consisting of 26 asanas. They were developed by world renowned yogi, Bikram Choudhury (hence the name) and mainly taught through The Yoga College of India in Los Angeles.
Bikram is an intense series of yoga postures done at a brisk pace in a heated room. The room usually is around 105 degrees. You guested it this 90 minute series of contortions makes you sweat like you never have before. This is core sweat the kind that detoxes your inner organs. I love it, it really works.
I started doing Bikram at the beginning of the year, at a great studio in Palm Springs by a very animated and good humored yogi Ranjeeta. She pushes you to your limits, but is gentle enough on beginners to make you want to come back. I have heard other Bikram teachers compared to Nazi generals. Absolutely no mercy, no matter if you are a beginner or not. I don't like that, hey to all of you Bikram instructors out there, take a break, breathe, not everyone can touch the floor with their palms the very first visit.
Overall Bikram works. It gets to be addictive and feels so good when you are finished. I have never ever seen any other practice put so many glowing complexions on svelte tight bodies in my life. Yoga is a path to self-awareness, it helps center your thoughts and quiet the mind. Plus if it tightens my ass I ain't complaining. Bikram has exploded you will find a studio in your neck of the woods, just google Birkram and your location and I am sure you will find one in your area. Here are some of the benefits to establishing a consistent Bikram Yoga practice:
• Works every organ, gland, nerve, tendon, ligament and muscle
• Expands your capacity to breathe deeply and fully
• Prevents injury and may precent or improve chronic illness
• Fabulous body toning effects
• Weight loss
• Improvement in body posture
• Improve healing and regenerative powers of the body
• Improvement in lymphatic system
• Improvement in immune function
• Improvement in metabolism/digestion
• Improvement in heart and lung function
• Helps cultivate a sense of well-being and a more peaceful mind
Basically it will improve your whole life, and what can be more beautiful than that.
Have a Beautiful Day

I have never heard of an instructor that requires anyone to "touch their toes" who is a first time student. The Bikram set is intense enough all by itself. Teachers are specifically trained to push their students safely. The main objective of a good Bikram teacher is to get their students to come back, not touch their toes. All you have to do is show up!
