Yogic trysts

After having launched their first Indian yoga studio,Bikram’s Hot Yoga studio,in Mumbai,celebrated Yoga guru Bikram Chaudhury’s wife Rajashree,along with actors Manisha Koirala and Gulshan Grover,launched the second of their exclusive studios in Pune at Koregaon Park on Saturday. The studio,located at Onyx,behind Westin Hotel,has been specifically designed by Chaudhury and is on par with their international studios for practising his techniques of Hot Yoga. Koirala barely spoke during the launch,except for the occasional smiles. Grover,who has been an ardent follower of the technique for the last 20 years,went on to describe the benefits of the same. “The technique is specifically designed to improve the energy flow in the body and also help increase the metabolism rate. In fact,the reason why it is practised in a hot room is because it helps to improve the blood circulation and also increase the body’s lung capacity.” Rajashree said that in a day they will be conducting four sessions,each 90-minutes long,and will feature a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises.
