Yoga Wins As Top 20 Lasting Fitness Trend

So it seems that whilst high intensity training generates initial popularity, people don't seem to be able to continue with it, as there can be high levels of injuries associated with these sports. However yoga, being more along the therapeutic modality offers people more of a chance to heal their injuries as well as provide a mental, physical, and emotional workout. So whilst trends are cool and exciting, to sustain and live a continuous and healthy life, it seems that incorporating yoga into your lifestyle might just be the way to go!


Every year the American College of Sports Medicine publishes it's Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends, and given the amount of trends that have come up the last couple of years: Zumba, Crossfit, Calisthenics training, Pilates and much more, it seems that yoga is here to stay. These two separate articles "Yoga Wins As Top 20 Lasting Fitness Trend" and  "How Will You Work Out When Crossfit is No Longer Hip?" both discuss the trends that have come and gone, whilst listing the ones which are here to stay, and the one with the longest 'trend' is yoga.

"The yoga folks surprise me every year," says Thompson, the survey's author and fitness trend expert. He thought yoga would've gone the way of Pilates, quickly dropping off the top 20 list. But people who promote yoga, he says, have figured out ways to get new people to try it. Whether it's Bikram yoga or power yoga, "they reinvent themselves so it continues to be popular."

    "I am not what happened to me,
    I am what I choose to become"
    Carl Gustave Jung

    I'm Binny, a full time Bikram Yoga teacher and studio owner that lives in Perth, Australia.

    I started this blog to share the things I love the best in the world: being healthy and happy, food (especially raw), yoga, traveling and most importantly, learning how to love and be true to myself.

    I suffered from severe digestive problems when I was younger, being gluten and lactose intolerant, and developed compartment syndrome and fibromyalgia in my teens. I have lived with constant pain for over 16 years now.

    Over the past 10 years, I've shifted to a mainly plant based diet and realised that being well and healthy is a way of life. I have been teaching Bikram yoga since 2011, in the US and Australia. Due to my health issues I've also had a lot of bodywork done as well as explored alternative therapies.

    I've become much more aware of myself as a result of all this - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Right now I love my life. In my career I love what I do and I do what I love. I have traveled to some amazing places around the world and made lifelong friends. In between working and traveling, I cook up a storm in the kitchen, especially raw  desserts, spend time with the people I love the best, which now includes a yoga husband, a mini yogini Estell, and our dog! I try to listen to my body the best I can.

    I truly believe that we all have the power and the capabilities to heal our own bodies, to nourish the spirit and seek our own happiness and life's purpose. This my journey...
