The var­i­ous stand­ing exer­cis­es help to improve your bal­ance and sense of equi­lib­ri­um. Bal­ance pos­tures in yoga have pos­i­tive effects on your phys­i­cal and men­tal health. In terms of our body, they help us to get up and aligned prop­er­ly. They also strength­en and stretch our mus­cles and improve our bal­ance as we con­stant­ly work to find or main­tain our body’s cen­ter of grav­i­ty. The reg­u­lar yoga prac­tice of bal­ance pos­es can also improve the func­tion of the body’s bal­ance sen­sors. These are locat­ed in the inner ear and pro­vide the infor­ma­tion the body needs to main­tain balance.

Due to the strong sweat­ing dur­ing hot yoga, the pores of the skin are bet­ter sup­plied with blood and thus cleansed. Tox­ins and free rad­i­cals are trans­port­ed from inside the body to the out­side. Due to the cleans­ing effect and the stim­u­lat­ed cir­cu­la­tion, the appear­ance of the skin improves and one gets a healthy, fresh and seem­ing­ly younger com­plex­ion. Fur­ther detox­i­fi­ca­tion approach­es occur via con­trolled breath­ing and tar­get­ed mas­sage of the inter­nal organs. Com­pres­sion and decom­pres­sion of organs and glands helps with hor­mon­al and organ­ic imbalances.

It is very impor­tant that you replen­ish flu­ids and elec­trolytes that are sweat­ed out dur­ing exer­cise after class. Iso­ton­ic drinks and water, as well as a healthy diet, thus help to com­plete the gen­tle detox­i­fi­ca­tion of your body. Rest assured, how­ev­er, not every­thing you sweat out is “poi­son” in the sense of detoxification 🙂

Hot yoga is also an intense work­out; dur­ing a 90-minute ses­sion, up to 1000 KCal can be burned, depend­ing on the indi­vid­ual inten­si­ty of the work­out and the body weight of the exer­cis­er. Mas­sag­ing the inter­nal organs and stim­u­lat­ing the diges­tive sys­tem and glands have oth­er pos­i­tive effects. Yoga is said to enable an improved con­nec­tion between body and mind through the intense engage­ment with one’s own body. In hot yoga, the mir­ror is not only the best teacher, because it is absolute­ly neu­tral and clear, but look­ing at and accept­ing one’s own reflec­tion also con­tributes to a healthy self-per­cep­tion, because you are unique and great!

It is strik­ing that yogi­nis and yogis seem to sleep bet­ter 🙂 Sleep qual­i­ty is influ­enced by sev­er­al fac­tors at once, includ­ing stress, hor­mon­al imbal­ances, and obe­si­ty. Although the exact mech­a­nisms are still poor­ly under­stood, both exer­cise and yoga pro­mote healthy sleep patterns.

Yoga is health main­te­nance! Through tar­get­ed exer­cis­es to strength­en the back and abdom­i­nal mus­cles, as well as inten­sive stretch­ing exer­cis­es that make the spine equal­ly flex­i­ble in all direc­tions, you pre­vent many dis­eases of civ­i­liza­tion. Only with a well strength­ened trunk mus­cu­la­ture and flex­i­bil­i­ty you can put a stop to impend­ing slipped discs, rheuma­tism and back pain. In addi­tion, by prac­tic­ing you improve your pos­ture and bal­ance, pos­ture deficits are con­scious­ly and more eas­i­ly corrected.

Your sta­mi­na and ambi­tion will be put to the test in yoga. But you will expe­ri­ence a sense of well-being and hap­pi­ness after your first class. The cleansed body, the pride of accom­plish­ment, and over­com­ing your own weak­ness all con­tribute to a sig­nif­i­cant increase in your well-being and self-con­fi­dence. You lit­er­al­ly glow from with­in and seem to look years younger 🙂 Hot yoga also leads to a last­ing improve­ment in your own ener­gy lev­el, espe­cial­ly if you are prone to depres­sion and listlessness.

In yoga, all the mus­cles of your body are used and strength­ened. How­ev­er, the qui­et slow exer­cis­es do not over­stress your joints, as is the case with increased exer­cise of many oth­er sports (jog­ging, cycling, etc.).

In a 5‑year study, bone min­er­al den­si­ty was assessed with DEXA (bone den­sit­o­m­e­try) in nine female Bikram yoga teach­ers (30–59 years old) with more than 3 years of reg­u­lar teach­ing and prac­tice of hot yoga. Those who were pre­menopausal at the 5‑year fol­low-up showed mean increased bone den­si­ty at the femoral neck, hip, and lum­bar spine. Those who were post­menopausal at the 5‑year fol­low-up showed a mean decrease in bone min­er­al den­si­ty at the femoral neck, total hip, and lum­bar spine. The improved total hip bone min­er­al den­si­ty in the pre­menopausal group was sig­nif­i­cant­ly greater than the decrease in bone min­er­al den­si­ty report­ed by the post­menopausal group.
