Trendiness has been making people awesome for centuries. It has provided a quick and easy way to determine if a stranger is 'cool,' without even having to talk to them.
For instance, in grade school one might have noted whether a classmate owned a mini backpack, listened to Will Smith or wore platform Sketchers and high-heeled Jellies.
Current 'trendy kids' can be spotted in flannel shirts and sometimes riding bikes.
But recently, a new trend has surfaced. Strangely enough, it involves health rather than possessions. It values exercise over Uggs.
More and more people are becoming yoga enthusiasts. Around Marquette, Bikram seems to be the Michael Buble of all yogas.
The first hot yoga series developed was Bikram, which requires the room remain at least 105 degrees, with 45 percent humidity. Classes are 90 minutes long and include the same 26 postures and two breathing exercises. Postures remain at a beginner’s level and are executed the same way every time so yogis can perfect them to gain maximum benefits.
The extreme temperatures help warm up participants' bodies immediately upon entrance. The heat also induces consistent sweating for detoxification and to decrease the risk of injury.
Instructors provide constant guidance, which helps ensure that beginners and experts alike are able to attempt all postures and improve their practice. Instructors also explain to students the health benefits associated with each posture.
