Bikram yoga : the guru behind hot yoga shows the way to radiant health and personal fulfillment

Summary: Based on Bikram's signature program of 26 postures and two breathing exercises, this book will help you combat a variety of afflictions--from stress and insomnia to arthritis and back pain--and maintain exceptional health for years to come. The postures work your muscles, increase flexibility, and flush toxins out of your system. It isn't easy: it's a rigorous, body-bending program, and Bikram gives it to you straight in his outspoken, charismatic, and tough-love fashion. Additionally, he explains how physical strength and flexibility can be a gateway to mental clarity and spiritual calm.--From publisher description.
