Part I in the Bikram Yoga Series:
Pranayama Breathing

Bikram's beginner yoga series includes 26 postures (asanas). Designed by Bikram Choudhury, the class is intended to deepen muscle stretching and allow for healthy detoxification. Among the many benefits of the series is the reduction of many chronic disease symptoms such as high blood pressure and obesity. The series is also hailed for its calming benefits which allow for deeper breathing, focus and meditation.

The first posture in the series is a breathing exercise which sets the tone for achieving this deep relaxation and meditation which will bring your practice to a new level. Practicing Pranayama at the start of class warms up the body internally, gives you energy for class and promotes a calm state of mind for meditation.

Sweet Potatoes with Lime and Cilantro:
This recipe is an eye-operner for those who find sweet potatoes cloyingly sweet or who are tired of eating them smothered in marshmallows and brown sugar. Japanese sweet potatoes, with their pale flesh and delicate flavor, are a treat if you can find them.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30-40 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
4 sweet potatoes
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
2-3 limes
butter and salt, optional

Directions:
1. Wash the sweet potatoes and bake them whole, in their skins, at 375 until tender.
2. Wash and chop cilantro leaves.
3. When sweet potatoes are done, slit open the skin and place on serving plate. Season with salt and dots of butter, if you like. Then squeeze fresh lime juice all over, and shower with cilantro leaves.
