<div class="MsoNormal">
Hatha yoga is commonly described as the yoga which brings union
"of the pairs of opposites”. The word ‘Hatha’ is formed from the words
‘ha’ meaning ‘sun’ and ‘tha’ meaning ‘moon’. This refers to the balance of
masculine and feminine aspects (hotness of sun and coolness of moon), within
all of us. It is also known as ‘Forceful yoga’ as it involves lot of effort.
This yoga mainly focuses on physical and mental strength building exercises and
postures. These yoga postures have been primarily described in three texts of
Hinduism.</div>

The hatha yoga asanas or postures are mainly designed to
open many channels of human body, especially the main channel, i.e. spine,
which helps smooth energy flow. Hatha yoga is a great tool for self
transformation. It mainly concentrates on proper breathing, which in turn helps
to achieve better concentration.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
As per the legend, Hindu god Lord Shiva is considered to be
the creator of Hatha yoga. It is said that he gave this knowledge to his wife,
goddess Parvati, on a lonely island. But a fish (Matsya) heard it and later
became a siddha, known as Matsyendranath. Matsyendranath, later transferred its
knowledge about to his disciple Gorakshanath
and to a limbless man, Chaurangi. </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>What Is Needed?</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Firstly, you must be curious to begin with. You must make up
your mind to follow this practice regularly and have faith in it. Secondly,
having a pair of sweat pants or shorts, and t-shirts is helpful. No special footgear
is needed as you need to be barefoot while doing yoga. Other helpful stuff
include a face towel and a yoga mat. Most of these things may already be
provided if you visit a yoga center.</div>

You Know What Exactly Is Hatha Yoga?</b></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">From the
middle of the 20</span><sup><span style="font-size: small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: small;">
century, hatha yoga has become a very popular fitness practice among
the people, who are keen to improve their physical, mental as well as
spiritual health. This is a balanced approach to fitness, where the
body releases stress, improves its physical condition and
consequently increases the relaxation. </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Origin</b></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Although,
yoga in itself is more than 5,000 years old, but Hatha Yoga is pretty
new version of the ancient practices. It could be called a branch of
yoga that is popularized by Bikram, while Swami Vivekananda took it
to the west in the early 19</span><sup><span style="font-size: small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: small;">
century.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Practice</b></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Practitioner
of this branch of yoga spend anywhere from 45 minutes to 90 minutes
in a single session. Initially the session begins with meditative
breathing that is then followed by a warm up, after which the session
grows demanding. Hatha yoga doesn’t give a person much time to
relax, but it does make a person absolutely strong from inside. The
session always finishes off with meditation that allows its
participants to completely cool down.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Benefits</b></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Many
scientific studies have proven that a regular practitioner of Hatha
yoga gets many mental and physical benefits. People with eating
disorders experience an enhanced food consumption behavior when they
start practicing this form of yoga. It also relieves its practitioner
from depression, anxiety, stress, impulsive anger, irritation,
aggression and impatience. Hatha yoga increases the concentration,
mindfulness, calmness and peace within a person.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0.14in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The
practitioners have been known to have much better coordination,
flexibility and correct posture in comparison to those, who never
practice any kind of physical activities or exercise. People with
medical anomalies may get well soon, if they practice Hatha yoga
regularly. If you would like to receive the benefits of this amazing
variant of yoga, it would be advisable to find a good Guru and start
the practice under his or her supervision.</span></div>

Bikram Choudhury. Most of the benefits of Bikram yoga are, therefore, same as
hot yoga. It aims to increase general health, and students of this style have a
belief that a heated room helps drive a deeper stretch while preventing injury.
Benefits of Bikram yoga include enhanced flexibility, endless flushing of
toxins due to increased perspiration and successful recovery from injury (due
to deep stretching). Some of the major benefits of Bikram yoga have been listed

<b><u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bikram Yoga: What it is?</span></span></u></b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bikram Yoga is named after the yoga guru Bikram Choudhury,
who is its founder. Bikram yoga is a set of 26 hatha yoga postures, including 2
pranayam exercises, each of which is performed twice in a single 90-minute
class. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bikram Choudhury, who was born in Calcutta in 1946, was a
yoga champion in his youth, along with his wife Rajashree. At age 20, Bikram was
involved in a crippling weightlifting accident. Although he was told he would
never be able to walk again, with the help of yoga, he claims to have fully
recovered within 6 months. Bikram created a 26 posture series, later named
Bikram yoga, which restored his health. The 100 - 105 degree(F) heat in
which Bikram yoga is practiced is, according to him, meant to mimic the climate
of India. Choudhury holds a copyright for the 26 poses which constitute Bikram
yoga under the same theory which allows choreographic sequences to be
copyrighted.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to the 60+ year-old Indian-born yoga master, the
precise sequence of 26 postures and two breathing exercises must be performed
within 90 minutes in a heated (100-degrees-plus) room to allow the body to
stretch, detoxify, relieve stress, tone, and heal chronic pain such as
arthritis, joint aches, knee injuries, back problems, and more.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bikram has a history of suing various yoga studios for using
his copyrighted yoga techniques. Some of those organizations claimed that yoga
cannot be copyrighted. Practicing yoga in a hot environment is a form of so
called ‘<b><u><a href="http://wiki4yoga.blogspot.com/2014/02/hot-yoga.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Hot Yoga</span></a></u></b>’, which is not owned by Bikram. Basically, all Bikram yoga is
hot, but not all hot yoga is Bikram.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bikram yoga instructors do not demonstrate the moves,
instead they talk you through the flow as part of a moving meditation. This
helps the practitioners to get more involved. No matter where you practice in
the world, the trainers follow the same pattern and recite same instructions,
as if following a script.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hot Yoga: What it is?</span></u></b></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In layman's terms, hot yoga is any form of yoga which is done in hot and humid conditions. Technically speaking, it is usually done at a temperature ranging from 90 degrees to 105 degrees Fahrenheit and a humidity of 40%. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hot yoga is generally associated with yoga guru Bikram Choudhury. The much popular ‘Bikram Yoga’ is also one of the forms of hot yoga. In colder climates, hot yoga often seeks to replicate the heat and humidity of India where yoga originated. It is found that people enjoy hot yoga because it allows them to feel more flexible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As expected, a vigorous yoga session at high temperature promotes profuse sweating and makes the body very warm. Because of its intensity and potential to cause heat-related illness, hot yoga is not for everyone. A doctor consultation is must before trying hot yoga if you have any health concerns. If you have heart disease, dehydration or heat intolerance issues, or any other kind of heat-related illness (such as heatstroke) in the past, it is probably best not to do hot yoga. </span><br />
