Bikram Yoga anyone?

**MandyBee23** · 01-20-2009, 05:17 PM

A friend of mine wants me to join her in Bikram Yoga classes. I was wondering if anyone has been and if they could share their experience.

The problem I think I am going to have is the heat. I have lived my whole life in Florida but as soon as it gets above 90 degrees I can't stand it, I can't stand to be uncomfortably hot. But on the other hand I do break out a little on my face and back so maybe the heat would flush out any toxins in my skin?

I read an article on Bikram Yoga where they say you will loose weight (which I def don't want to do because I only weigh 102) but then I figured it's probably only water weight. The article also said that they do the same positions every session, which becomes boring, but regardless I'd like to become more flexable. Thanks for your replies!

I don't really know what the different types of yoga are.

But I have been doing yoga for a few weeks now and was actually able to work my way up to some Power Yoga (the one by Rodney Yee). It does help with flexibility, but it also requires a certain level of flexibility.

For that I was following a Classical Stretch routine which combines strength training with the stretching, kinda like Yoga but yoga has more strength than stretch.

Oh I just saw that you posted this in January. Did you attend? Are you still doing yoga?

Is anyone else doing yoga?
