Is it possible, an exercise that focuses on a inner discipline and self enlightenment able to be a work out? Yoga was started in India, and became a practice that quickly spread. Although when it originated is highly debated, it is very evident that it has increasingly gained in popularity during recent years. If you ask any “Yogi” (person who breathes yoga) they will say the main point of yoga is not about getting sweaty but inner self improvement. I would like to argue, that improving your exterior will inevitably benefit your overall wellness. The main focus will be on getting sweaty! There are several different types of yoga that enable us to call yoga a work out, Astanga, Bikram, Power, Resortative, Acro, Sumits, and Vinyasa are just a few. For those of you thinking that yoga is not a real workout, here is the challenge; complete one sumits class, or hold a handstand for one minute. Yoga classes are designed to push a persons limits. There is never perfection, and will always continue to challenge an individual. So why is it so popular? It is because the results are unparalleled. Jennifer Aniston, Robert Downey Jr., Russel Simmons, Lady Gaga, and even KeSha have all sworn to the benefits of yoga. The only way to truly find out how amazing yoga is, would be to join the on going trend and attend your first class!
