Bikram Yoga Manila

Last September, C32 (my college block) had a dinner in Greenbelt. From there, I had a long talk with my friend, Aileen. We mostly talked about how we can balance our social life, work, and healthy lifestyle. Our conversation led us in to trying yoga.

I went searching for good yoga places within the vicinity of Makati and The Fort and found Bikram Yoga Manila (www.bikramyogamanila.com). Bikram Yoga Manila is located in 15/F 88 Corporate Center, Valero St. cor. Sedeño St., Salcedo Village, Makati. Its proximity from our work has made us decide to try it and as luck have it, they're offering a special rate for beginners!

So what's the difference of bikram yoga from the other kinds of yoga? Bikram Yoga was founded by Bikram Choudhary in the late 1970s. It is a series of 26 postures including 2 breathing exercises that will run for exactly 90 minutes. Each posture stretches and strengthens the muscles, ligaments, and joints in the body. Aside from that, Bikram Yoga is done in a heated room with a temperature of 38°C. The heat helps to warm the muscles (which will burn fat easily), clears the circulatory system, improve the function of the nervous system, and promotes sweating which detoxifies the body.
