What is Bikram Yoga? A type of hatha yoga which consists of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises, performed in a room heated to 38-42 degrees. It is the perfect lifetime fitness program. The Bikram approach to yoga practice is totally different from that of any other. First, the mind and emotions are soothed. Next, the body is placed in a series of hatha yoga postures held for brief intervals while the mind is fully focused on what the body is feeling. The posture sequence works the body from the inside out, establishing harmony among all the body systems, strengthening the muscles and of course, enhancing flexibility. Each posture was chosen to prepare the body for the next one. The Bikram method also works the
organs, glands and nervous system in a profoundly beneficial manner. To truly understand Bikram Yoga, you have to experience it. The glowing feeling you have after class is a combination of the relaxing warmth that permeates deep into the tissues of the body augmented by the posture sequence and breathing exercises. While some people may feel it is unusual to exercise in heat, the experience can be addicting to some but therapuetic to most practioners.

The “Real” Hot Yoga System From The USA If you have tried a hot yoga class, you
probably thought that hot yoga began when someone started doing some stretching
in a sauna then had the idea to use heat in the yoga studio. You probably
haven’t given much thought to the series of postures done in class. The interesting thing is that many of China’s hot
yoga teachers don’t know the origins of this type of yoga that has become
popular over the past few years. If you
already like hot yoga, then you will love it after you read this article. If you don’t like hot yoga then you will at
least understand its origins and how it got started in China and why
it is becoming so popular. Hot yoga didn’t happen by chance, in
fact, it was carefully planned and scientifically created with the assistance
of doctors by internationally renowned yoga teacher Bikram Choudhury from India. He brought his system to the United States
in 1971 at the invitation of the American Medical Association. Bikram's hatha
yoga system is a routine of 26 poses which works the whole body in 90 minutes.
The poses work synergistically and cumulatively to return the body to a
balanced state. Bikram spent much time to develop this sequence, which is so
special he copyrighted it. But wait…how
can he copyright a yoga pose, because nobody owns yoga poses, right? Yes, the poses belong to what is called Hatha
yoga, but the sequence of poses and how they are performed, the dialogue used
to teach it was developed by Bikram—this is what is copyrighted, and NOT the
individual poses. Those who have tried a real Bikram class have an innate understanding that the poses feel “logical” or “comfortable” for the body—that’s because the sequence flows perfectly from posture to the next. This is one reason why Bikram Yoga is effective. Think of Bikram’s system as a cake recipe. You have to use the right ingredients in the right amounts if you want to get the cake you want. Well the posture sequence and instruction to perform represents the ingredients. Now what about the heat? Think of the heat as another “ingredient” in the cake recipe. You need it if you want your “cake” to be just right. Bikram found the heat therapeutic for the body. He tried different temperatures and humidities and chose his current standard. If the studio is heated properly with the right humidity, you will sweat. Heat generated from yoga practice without a heated room will cause some to perspire anyway. The result is an invigorating workout experience that can compare to other forms of physical activity. The great thing about yoga in general is that anyone can do it and such is true as well for Bikram Yoga. Bikram Yoga's twenty-six posture exercises moves fresh, oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body, to every organ and muscle fiber, restoring all systems to healthy working order, just as nature intended. Proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health, and a sense of well-being will automatically follow. Bikram has taught famous athletes and movie stars, doctors, lawyers, businessmen and housewives --everybody's life demands the same thing – good health. Famous music producer Quincy Jones had a serious brain disorder -- yoga gave him his health back. Professional basketball star, Kareem Abdul Jabhar prolonged his athletic career long past the normal age for basketball players. Tennis star John McEnroe's career was seriously interrupted by an injury--yoga restored his playing ability. Some people come to Bikram yoga class suffering from heart disease, cancer and other serious diseases. They all have been helped. Thousands of perfectly healthy people have maintained vibrant, good health through faithful yoga practice. Famous actresses, Shirley MacLaine, Candice Bergen, and Rachel Welch maintain their youthful bodies well into middle age. In 1973, Bikram began teacher's training and his "hot yoga" spread around the world.
What Yoga Is Good For: Bikram Yoga is not only good medicine it is good preventive medicine. Regular Bikram Yoga practice will systematically treat all your body ailments and restore your body to its normal working order. Regular practice of Bikram Yoga help with: Back and Neck Problems including stiff neck, shoulder tension and headaches: your spine is like a series of ball bearings on top of each other separated by a cushion. In a healthy spine these ball bearings are shiny and new, the ball bearings are smooth and round and move freely in all directions. The cushions padded the ball bearings are strong and thick. Over years of use and poor posture the vertebrae compress each other and these pads become worn out. The shiny ball bearings are now rusty and don’t function well. The Bikram system will restore health and functionality to the spine. A healthy spine is the foundation of good health and well being because it so an important as a nerve center that stimulates all parts of the body. Bikram Yoga also can also help with the following: Digestive Disorders, High Blood Pressure, Headaches, Breathing Problems, Heart Problems, Insomnia, Arthritis, Rheumatism & Gout, Cold and Flu, Glandular Disorders, Hemorrhoids, Kidney Problems, Menstrual Problems, Varicose Veins Bikram热瑜伽：中国的下一个健身风潮 来自美国的真正热瑜伽系统 如果您已经尝试过热瑜伽课程，您也许会觉得热瑜伽是从某人开始在桑拿房间做一些伸展运动而后有了个在瑜伽馆里加热的念头而开始的。您也许也没有太多想过热瑜伽课程中的那些姿势。有趣的是中国许多热瑜伽教师并不知道这种瑜伽的起源已经在过去几年中很流行了。如果您已经喜欢热瑜伽，在读完这篇文章后您会爱上它。如果您并不太喜欢热瑜伽那么您至少可以从这篇文章中了解热瑜伽的起源，还有在中国它是怎样开始的又是为什么流行起来的。 热瑜伽不是偶然产生的，事实上，它是由来自印度的国际著名的瑜伽教师Bikram Choudhury在医师的协助下精心策划和科学创造出来的。 他应美国医学协会的邀请于1971年将其系统带入美国。Bikram的瑜伽系统是一个由26个姿势组成，可以在90分钟内使全身活动起来的一个程序。这些姿势的刺激可使身体达到一种平衡状态。Bikram花了很多时间开发这种动作顺序，并且将这种独特的顺序注册版权。但是等一下…瑜伽的动作怎么能注册版权呢？因为没有人拥有瑜伽的姿势不是吗？是的，瑜伽姿势是属于Hatha瑜伽修行，但是由Bikram发展创造出来的姿势的顺序和他们表达的方式以及教学时使用的语言是被注册了版权的而并不是单独独立的瑜伽姿势。 上过真正的Bikram课程的人都自然的感觉到这套姿势令身体很舒服。 这是因为整套姿势从一个动作到另一个动作的衔接顺序都很完美。这也是Bikram式瑜伽起作用的一个原因。把Bikram的整套系统看作是一个蛋糕配方。您必须用合适的成分和适当的数量才能配出您想要的蛋糕。那么整套动作的姿态和顺序还有完成动作的说明都是成分。 那么热度呢？把加热当作是这个蛋糕配方中的另一种成份。如果您想把这个蛋糕做得恰到好处那么您就需要这种成份。Bikram发现了这种加热治疗法。他尝试了不同的温度和湿度，而后选择了现在这种标准。 如果在瑜伽训练馆适当加热并且选择合适的湿度，您将会出汗。即使房间没有加热，在练习瑜伽的过程中产生的热量都会使您出汗。您可以同其他的运动相比较就能感受到这种运动是一项令人精神焕发放松身心的运动。一般瑜伽很棒的一点就是任何人都可以进行练习，Bikram式瑜伽也是如此。 Bikram瑜伽的26个练习动作使新鲜的富氧血液输送到周身，机体器官及肌肉组织。调整身体各部分以达到最佳生理状态。正常体重、肌肉塑型及安乐感即刻而生。 Bikram的学员中有知名运动员、影视明星、医生、律师、商务人士家庭主妇等。 但他们每个人对生活都有共同的需要，那就是健康。著名的音乐制作人Quincy Jones曾一度受脑疫血的困扰，最终是瑜伽帮助他恢复了健康。职业篮球明星Kareem Abdul Jabhar通过瑜伽的练习，大大延长了他的运动生涯。一次意外，几乎使网球明星John McEnroe与网球绝缘，是瑜伽帮助他重新回到了赛场。 很多前来参加Bikram瑜伽学习班的学员们是心脏病、癌症等重病患者。 他们都不同程度上得到了帮助。成千上万的健康人也通过对瑜伽的忠实练习而获益匪浅。 著名的影视明星Shirley Maclaine, Candice Bergen及Rachel Welch在坚持不懈地练习中保持了青春的体态。1973年，Bikram开始培训教师,并在全世界各地传授他的“热瑜伽”。
瑜伽对您的好处 Bikram瑜伽不但是一剂良药而且还能起到很好的预防作用。定期的Bikram瑜伽练习将系统的治愈您身体内的疾病并且使您身体恢复正常工作状态。定期的Bikram瑜伽训练将有助您： 背部及颈部问题 包括斜颈，肩部紧张，头痛：您的脊椎就像是一连串的由软垫连接的滚珠轴承。在健康的脊髓中，这些滚珠轴承是光亮并且崭新的，这些滚珠轴承平滑且圆并能四面八方均能运转自如。填补滚珠轴承的软垫是坚固而厚的。经过长年的使用和不正确的姿势，脊椎互相压缩并且这些软垫组织逐渐破损。现在，本来光亮的滚珠轴承已经变得迟钝了，并且其功能不能正常的工作。 Bikram式瑜伽系统将帮助脊椎恢复健康和正常的状态。一个健康的脊椎是好身体的基础，因为作为神经中枢的脊椎，对身体各部位的刺激都是相当重要的。 Bikram瑜伽也对以下问题有所帮助 消化系统紊乱, 高血压, 头痛, 呼吸问题, 心脏问题, 失眠症, 关节炎，风湿和痛风, 感冒和流感, 腺状体混乱, 痔疮, 肾功能问题, 经期问题, 静脉曲张 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 作者注释：对热度过敏的人也许会觉得在高温环境下练习瑜伽不舒服。初次锻炼的人最好遵循医生建议。 请在www.bikramyoga.com关注更多Bikram先生及Bikram瑜伽的更多信息。中文信息请与莫慧萍联系，电子邮件地址为：bikramyogabeijing@gmail.com © 2009
