Things are heating up in downtown Hermosa Beach as more and more people sign up for both traditional and hot yoga. 

Yoga initially developed in Indian Buddhist tribes as a way to channel the body’s natural energy as a healing power, but nowadays it is more focused on the physical health benefits that meditation, stretching, and strength training provide. Quickly becoming California’s favorite form of aerobic exercise, different forms of Yoga are stretching across the coast. In our own Hermosa Beach, humble Yoga studios such as Soho Yoga ((310) 379-3200), and Lyfe (310-374-5933) boast physical, mental, and spiritual gains can be noticed within weeks of beginning class. It is almost guaranteed to turn your world upside down, in a good way! 

Not only do a huge number of people already swear by this age old activity, but you can also find numerous deals on a high school budget, a 30 dollars for 30 days at Soho specifically, and many more around town. Beginners should note the difference between the two main types of Yoga around, hot and traditional; where traditional focuses strengthening the body and increasing balance and flexibility, and hot focuses especially on calorie burning and weight loss. Whatever your fitness goals this year, yoga is a must for a tight budget, and a burning curiosity.
