Is hot yoga the same is Bikram yoga? I've done Bikram a few times, it's pretty intense, but I prefer just regular yoga better! It's much more relaxing!

I do yoga twice a week and I find it beneficial. I wish I could do it a little more - maybe three times a week - but I just don't have the time! A lot of my friends who go to the gym still "scoff" at the point of yoga but it has actually built up my core to be quite strong, not to mention the other benefits. I find it helps with tenseness around the shoulders and back (I have this constantly), stress levels, and I find I always sleep better after a yoga class!

I also do a Les Mills program called 'Body Balance,' which is a combination of yoga, tai chi and pilates all in one class. I highly recommend it, I think it's fantastic.
