Bikram yoga. What's new?


After Tuesday night, I am down to my remaining nine class of yoga from the package I purchased last November. What more can I say about these classes that I have not already said? I love it. I am stimulated to my core. Some days, yes, I dread it and I find myself sluggish and wanting to sit down for some poses. The thing is I never regret going to a class. Ever. It's such a wonderfully, satisfying, cathartic respite from the day. Plus, it's 90 minutes long. That's a lot more time than most people spend exercising. Talk about feeling like I've done something greatly beneficial for my body. Afterwards, I feel loose and limber and adjusted. IT really is amazing. Forget sketchy chiropractors! I mean if they are so great, how come people need to keep going? Forget massages! Way too pricey. And with a massage there is no rewarding feeling of self-satisfaction. This yoga pits your body against your mind. Whether you triumph or not is completely depending on your own attitude. Ah, Bikram...what a beautiful thing!

Yea, I think it's a lot like Pizza.... Hmmm, not sure why I said that, I think I read it somewhere! :) Seriously though, I think it's a great thing too, although my informal version is me around the TV in the evening reciting all the poses that I've learned. Not 90 degrees, but Yoga is the ultimate form of stretching, I think..

Great Post!
