Hot Scot Yoga and Fitness

The thing about the final part of Bikram’s Locust pose is that it can take a while for beginners to get their thighs off the floor. There are some rock star practitioners that can get their legs straight up, toes pointing to the ceiling, but for us mere mortals, we just keep working away and progress. Consistency is key. Practice 3 classes a week - and transform! See website link in bio to book Bikram Yoga. 🔥

Standing Separate Leg Stretching

First your legs stretching, then hips stretching, then lower spine stretching, then whole spine is stretching. Eventually the whole body is stretching, 360 degree angle, inside out, from bones to the skin, coccyx to the toes, coccyx to the forehead

Join Anna for the 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises that you know and love, Anna's training was not with Bikram, and is 'command-based' and if you prefer a different style, this is for you!

If you're the student that loves the Bikram commands being 'barked' at you to get you through with no time to think, join Hayley at the East for the same postures using the Bikram method of delivery.

Bikram's Balancing Stick is like a natural human tug of war. Imagine your finger tips and big toe are strecthing further and further away from each other. The goal is to make a capital letter T shape with your body.

In the top image, the leg is too high, like a spoke sticking up on a broken umbrella. In the second image, the head is a little high. The ears should always be covered by the arms. Of course, it's hard to know when you're in the posture!

Leg up, belly in, standing leg locked, lock your knee and point your toes and stretch and stretch and stretch and stretch! Come to class for expert instruction to fix your Balancing Stick

Yoga moves that require the spine to curve are not only lengthening and extending the spine and increasing flexibility and mobility, they are also causing compression. Head to Knee with Stretching is the second last posture of the Bikram sequence. In the ancient Sanskrit language it's Janushirasana - compression. Not stretching. Bend your knee if you need to. The point is compression of your glands and organs.
