How to do bikram yoga by kk1989

"Bikram yoga has given me peace of mind and inspiration to live a healthier lifestyle."

How I did it: I knew that I needed to start exercising because I have been on the brink of being overweight for quite a while. I hate dragging myself to the gym daily so I did a little research and came across a blog about someone's experiences with Bikram. I have practiced normal vinyasa before so i wasn't too scared going into it and the studio near my apartment offers the first month of unlimited yoga for $30. I had no reason not to give it a try. So far I am seriously addicted to it! I have been reading up on it as well and the man who designed this style of yoga recommends practicing bikram 5-7 days a week for the first 60 days of starting and then decrease to at least 3 classes after that. That is exactly what I plan to do. I have going every day for the past 12 days and I feel GREAT! I can't wait to keep seeing improvement in my poses and tone up my body. I have also lost about 2 pounds a week!!

Lessons & tips: Stay hydrated and don't eat right before class (I'd eat no later than an hour and a half before your session). Also were clothes that you'll be comfortable in. If you plan on practicing as much as I have be prepared to do a lot of laundry or buy lots of yoga clothes! You definitely can't get away with wearing anything twice. Also, honor yourself for going and absolutely never compare yourself to the person next to you. We all have different bodies and limitations!

How I did it: I just went. My friend was going, but I ended up buying unlimited for one month and going every day last april. It was incredible! I got a lot stronger really fast. I have no balance, I had no balance, but I got so much better at the poses. I am in Buenos Aires and it doesn't exist here, but you can still do the poses. It is really essential to find a hot place to help keep your muscles so tender. Also, I read the book by the creator, who… Read how I did it…

It took me
2 weeks
It made me
flexible.

How I did it: My sister persuaded me to do it when I was taking a vacation in the Philippines.  She's a yoga enthusiast and I'm actually amazed at her dedication.  I've evaded almost all her attempts at getting me to try it... but one day, she offered to pay for the one week trial.  I felt obliged but I'm glad I tried it.  It was a new experience and I also met some good people.

    BIKRAM will save you 7 months ago

    I miss Bikram! I am in Buenos Aires and it does not exist here! I have mixed feelings about the creator, but the yoga, I got unlimited first month, and I went everyday because I wanted to get the most out of the money. I felt really awake and I got so much stronger and so much more flexible really quickly.

    I really want to do it the next time I am near a studio in the states. You can do the poses in house/but I never had a room I could put at 105 degrees or a mirror sufficient for the necessary self-eye-contact.

    It feels crazy at first, but if you do it every day, it really cleanses your body.
