for the past few weeks i've decided to really test my own limit and to take myself outside my comfort zone. Bikram Yoga Beaches located at Queen St. East and Woodbine offers hot yoga classes. At first I was a bit skeptical behind the whole idea of hot yoga since I usually practiced yoga to clear my mind and free my thoughts, but to do so in a 100 degrees hot box seems to put more thoughts in my head rather than freeing them. But boy was I wrong! Bikram yoga's heat helps induce the muscle to become more loose and relaxed. The experience was more of a body experience than a mind experience for me. I still practice Hatha Yoga to clear my mind, but there is nothing more relaxing for my muscles after a hard week of workouts than Bikram yoga. One very important thing I learned from my class was that when the body is in pain, you have to trust and relax the body, because the body knows how to take care of that pain.
