Is
Fire Mountain Yoga
a cardiovascular workout and can I lose weight?
No matter what your level of fitness, you will find a
Fire Mountain Yoga
class very challenging. Each posture combines flexibility, strength and balance
to work your whole body from the inside out. With persistence, patience and dedication
you can lose inches and develop muscle tone and strength that might never come
from other forms of exercise.
Why the heated room?
The heat combined with the sequence of postures is what makes
Fire Mountain Yoga
so special. The room is intentionally heated to warm muscles, allowing you to
work deeper in a shorter amount of time, seeing results faster. Heat takes the
trauma out of stretching, heals and helps prevent injuries. Also, your skin is
the largest elimination organ in your body. Yoga is not just about working
muscles. You are massaging deep tissues, glands and organs as well. As you
work deep within your body, you may start to release “poisons” or “toxins” that
have been stored in the body for a long time. The heat encourages sweating,
which helps flush these toxins from your body, giving you a wonderful glow from
head to toe.
What if I’m not flexible?
This is the most common misconception that prevents people from coming to yoga
class. Yoga is not about how flexible you are. It is about stretching your
body and spine in all directions to achieve optimal health. All that matters
is that you try the right way, go to your personal “edge”, and you will receive
100% of the benefits.
What if I feel sore after class?
Didn’t know you had a muscle there? Congratulations, you have utilized 100%
of your body. You are on the way to regaining your birthright; using your body
in the full range of motion it was designed for. Muscle soreness is a buildup
of lactic acid. What’s the best way to rid the body of lactic acid? More
stretching. It may be difficult to imagine that coming back for more would
help, but it is the BEST way to relieve the soreness. Waiting too long to
return is like starting from scratch all over again and the soreness will return.
How often should I attend class?
For good results, we recommend a regular practice of 3 times per week. To
achieve dramatic life-changing results, 4 or more times per week is recommended.
