While plenty of people swear by Bikram yoga, there is also power that comes from building your own internal fire. Move through a fierce twisting sequence with loads of vinyasas (Four-Limbed Staff to Up Dog to Down Dog) that will challenge your body but be well worth all your effort. It's a great way to use all the strength you've built up from following our Better-Body Challenge.
Downward Facing Dog sets a strong tone for the sequence:
Standing Forward Bend will help loosen up the back of your body before getting into the more strenuous twisting postures:
Warrior 3 will help bring the fire to your core so you can power through the rest of the practice with ease:
An active Open Triangle with proper alignment is some of the best yoga medicine you can offer your body:
Extended Side Angle opens up your hips and quads, while stretching the sides of your torso:
All the muscles along your spine get a big, deep twist in Rotated Side Angle:
Chair Pose looks simple, but after those deep twists, it's sure to bring the heat on heavy:
The twisted arms in Eagle open up tight, stressed shoulders, while the bottom of your body gets its own deep twist:
Twisting the torso to one side increases flexibility in your spine, but you'll be bringing the fire to your legs, as well, in Side Fierce:
Seated Spinal Twist will help you cool off and lengthen your spine as you focus on deep breaths:
After all the hard work you've put in, your body deserves a sweet Savasana:
