The Hot 26

Each posture is done twice - if you can't get it the first time you'll get it the second. There are details to each pose, the more you practice and the more you listen to your teacher's guidance the easier it will be to grasp. One of the things I love best about Bikram's practice is that each and every pose has a health benefit. For example, let's look at Tuladansana (Balancing Stick Pose):

This specific posture increases your heart rate and gives you your cardiovascular workout. It also may help clear blocked arteries and prevent future cardiac problems. As if those aren't enough, Balancing Stick creates a total spine strech and relieves tension/stress from your spine. Also builds strength in your legs and good for varicose veins. Good enough reasons to practice?
