The month of January – probably it is the time when we feel a little sluggish and lazy after the festivities are over, we have overindulged ourselves, but at the same time we are ready to kick start a new year with healthy eating habits and some old-fashioned exercise.

However, it is also the time when you start something new for yourself, so if you have never tried your hands at yoga or hot yoga classes in Brooklyn, welcome! You must be excited to start your new journey, and if you want to have a quick detox, here is your chance to do so.

Let us tell you that our bodies are designed to process and eliminate waste, but often this process can be thwarted by factors including stress, illness, an unhealthy diet, alcohol consumption, smoking, lack of exercise and everything negatively impact on the circulatory, digestive and lymphatic systems.

Yoga will target all these systems and helps them to work more efficiently. This will further help in eliminating excess waste from our bodies.

The twists in yoga are particularly helpful for detoxing as they apply pressure to the internal organs and massage them. First the blood flow is restricted to the area so that when the twist is released, fresh, oxygenated, and nutrient-filled blood flows to the organs.

Similarly the backbends create pressure on the abdomen and improves the digestion which further aids in the elimination of waste from the body.

If you are planning to start hot yoga classes in Brooklyn to detox your body, do it now.
