Maybe you’ve seen social media photos of friends twisted like pretzels while you struggle to sit cross-legged. Maybe you’re a dedicated runner who ends with a cool down stretch. No matter your level of flexibility, Bikram Yoga Toledo will help you bend in the right direction.
You can’t completely change your lifestyle in one giant step, it is about making small strides and changes on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Make the best, healthiest choices you can each day and, before you know it, things will change. Same goes for yoga— you aren’t going to be a yoga champion the first time you step on a yoga mat.
As the saying goes, “everything in moderation”— and this is especially true for food. Don’t beat yourself up for having dessert every once in awhile, but do be aware of what you are eating. The more aware you are, the more your body will tell you what it needs.
