When my friend first stumbled into a hot yoga class nearly 10 years ago, I wasn”t sure what to expect. Sure, I had done yoga before, but from what I understood, this was a far more intense version of the Eastern practice. The way I understood it, the instructor was to pre-heat the room to somewhere between 100-105 degrees Fahrenheit. Other than the temperature in the room, I wondered, what could possibly be different? I was about to find out.

We entered the power yoga center in MA on a Saturday morning, signed in, and prepared to enter the hot yoga studio. I can still remember the sensation of walking into this overheated room. Imagine that you immediately go from room-temperature to suddenly sitting in a large room-sized sauna. I learned that there is a science to getting the temperature and humidity just right for maximum health and flexibility benefits. I could literally smell the heat, it nearly took my breath away. I suddenly knew this was going to be an amazing experience. I set down my mat, took the first pose, and then worked through a challenging 90 minutes of a flowing series of yoga positions. I felt many different sensations coursing through my body, and when the class was over and I walked outside, I took a deep breath in, exhaled just as deeply, and felt the sense that I had just accomplished something great, and could do anything I set my mind to.

Hot yoga provides many benefits that you may or may not be aware of. First and foremost, exercising your muscles in such a heated environment truly does wonders for your flexibility. It”s as if the temperature itself acts as an elixir designed to loosen up your joints. Your body will start to respond by opening up almost immediately in response to the heat. It is a very pleasant sensation. Your body”s tissues will start to soften and your nervous system will start to relax. One of the most obvious benefits of hot yoga is simply one of cleansing- by performing these exercises in a heated room, your body will begin to sweat out various toxins. By performing hot yoga on a regular basis, as often as your body feels comfortable, you may start to see weight and inch loss in a relatively short period of time. This is due in part to your increased metabolism, which is also a beneficial result of hot yoga!

I don”t believe that there is a system in our bodies that hot yoga does *not* affect in one way or another. From improving T-cell function and therefore strengthening one”s immune system, to a natural cleansing of the digestive system, there are countless benefits to participating. In addition to the physical benefits, hot yoga also provides us with a strengthening of our willpower, self-control, and determination. This psychological effect will carry through to every other aspect of our lives in a very positive and motivating way.

Hot Vinyasa Yoga is one of the most comprehensive exercises one can do to fully awaken their body”s potential and energize the spirit. One key thing to keep in mind is that while hot yoga can be performed by individuals at all skill and health/fitness levels, one should always consult with a physician prior to starting this or any other rigorous fitness regimen. Beginners are encouraged to participate, even if this it is their first foray into the world of yoga. But the most important thing is to LISTEN to what your body is telling you. If you are starting to feel lightheaded or otherwise not able to perform to your full potential during hot yoga, re-hydrate, perform the exercises at a lower intensity, or simply rest. Once you feel better, work slowly back into the routine at your own pace. It is imperative that participants in a hot yoga class be sufficiently hydrated before class; and you are always encouraged to take a rehydrating water break whenever you feel it to be necessary. In no time at all, you will be glad that you persevered and made hot yoga a crucial part of not only your fitness routine and regimen, but also a part of your lifelong commitment to treat your body well.

To attend the prediction of Hindu Traditional Sacred Science of Astrology, it is necessary to take different steps. First step takes to determine, what is the correct strength of a birth chart There are many factors and principles for determination, but it is also necessary to see whether any meaningful yogas have been formed in the birth chart by way of Parivartanas. Parivartanas mainly based on interchanged of houses by their two planets on its ownership. This type of interchange or Parivertana are termed as Yoga or useful combinations and are quite handy in determining the primary strength of a birth chart, in addition to other factors, such Parivartanas beginning with Ascendant lord and ending with lord of the twelfth house, so caused as stated above, totaling sixty six in all, by permutation and combination, can be good, very good; bad or very bad depending upon the lordship over particular houses the planets hold and the houses where they (lords) are deposited. We shall go through the various results suggested by the old classical writers of the past with a suitable example.

I. Phaladeepika: In sixteenth century Granthkar Mantreswara, an author of Phaladeepika, the celebrated author has classified such Parivartanas in these groups of houses and their interchange of lords as grouped below:

(i)MAHA YOGAS: Granthkar Mantreswara has considered first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, tenth and eleventh as good houses without due consideration for Kendras and Konas. Maha Yogas is consider as any exchange of lords between these houses, the author which totals up twenty eight in number. The result ascribed to such yogas as per Phaladeepika are: The person born with Mahayoga present in his birth chart will be the storehouse of blessings of the goddess and will be wealthy lord. He will wear clothes of variegated color and bedeck himself with gold ornaments. He will receive rich presents from his sovereign certain powers will be conferred upon him. He will command vehicles, wealth and children.

(ii)KHALA YOGAS: This is the second set of Parivartana Yogas which are formed due to parivartanas of lords of houses, which the author has considered are only eight in number. When lord of third house occupies one of the remaining good houses i.e. first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, tenth or eleventh and by turn the lord of any such good house occupies third house, the condemned Khala Yoga crops up. The classical writer has suggested that any native in whose birth chart Khala Yoga is present will be occasionally haughty and at certain times gentle in his speech. Such a native will occasionally regain all kinds of prosperity while at other times, he will have to endure much distress, poverty, misery and like that.

(iii)DAINYA YOGAS: This is the third set of Parivartana Yogas which the Phaladeepika classical writer has introduced are thirty in number and are formed due to exchange of houses between any dusthana lord (i.e. lord of six, eight or twelfth) and lords of other houses as shown below:
(a) Twelfth lord occupying any one of the other eleven houses and any lord this latter houses occupying Twelfth = Eleven Number.
(b) The lord of sixth occupying any one of the remaining 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 houses and any lord of these latter houses occupying Sixth = Ten Number.
(c) The lord of eighth occupying any one of the remaining 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11 houses and any lord of these latter houses occupying eighth = nine Nos. The results for above mentioned thirty Dainya Yogas have been stated as:

The native in whose birth chart Dainya Yoga is present, will be a fool and will be abusing and insulting others and commit sinful acts. Such a person will always be subjected to confrontation by his enemies. He will speak woundingly and will be unsteady in his mind. His all undertakings will be hindered.

The eco-friendly pads are beneficial during the practice of yoga. These pads have more grips on the floor as compared to the pads made of plastics or synthetic materials. So, you can do your yoga practice without the fear of slip. Most of eco yoga mats are thicker that others and provide better support to the practitioners during various asanas of yoga. The yoga mats having slightly rough textures help you in standing properly during the asanas of standing postures.

Natural or eco-friendly mats are made using natural materials such as jute, Eva foam, TPE (Thermal Plastic Elastomer), PER (Polymer Environmental Resin) and natural rubber. All these materials are sourced naturally and do not leave any side effects that can pollute the atmosphere. As these are biodegradable so you can destroy your yoga mats if not in use easily without affecting the environment. Further, the yoga mats made of eco-friendly materials are skin friendly and last longer that make your investment a wise decision. It is you who have to decide about the selection of your yoga mats and the right decision makes your morning enjoyable and comfortable during the practice.
