If you have Asthma, you must always have your Blue inhaler on you to attend any class at BYC hot yoga. Practising yoga in a heated room will be good for you in several ways: The heat helps to relax the muscles and nerves. The intensity at which you practice is up to you, appropriate for your needs. If you are concerned about overexertion triggering an attack, use less effort. Sit down and relax whenever you need to. It will relax your mind, letting go of tension, toxins and negativity. Your lungs and heart are strengthened, improving our lung function. In the long term you will be able to breath easier and deeper. Even if the class you have chosen is not a heated one, there are still wonderful benefits for your mind, body & lungs.

Yes absolutely! In time the yoga will help you lose weight; with regular practice you will lose inches and develop muscle tone. Do not be surprised if at first you do not seem to be losing weight on the scales even thought you look lighter, do not forget muscle weighs more than body fat. As you are losing weight you are building strength and stamina with the Yoga. The Yoga provides a strong cardiovascular work out. Some of the postures speed up the heart rate in the first few seconds thus strengthening the heart. A good sign of health is that you can speed the heart rate up quickly and then slow it down quickly. You will learn to practice the postures with your breath. The heat in the room supports your cardio work out.

For anyone wishing to practise with a diagnosed heart condition we ask that you first check with your doctor as to whether Bikram Yoga is a suitable form of exercise for you. When you come to practise your first class, please bring in a note from your doctor confirming that you are well enough to participate in Bikram Yoga classes. We ask all Angina sufferers to carry their spray on them at all times while practising in the studio.
