Once You Go Bikram You Don't Go Back !!!


 I love Bikram yoga ! It's the most intense, rejuvenating, and amazing yoga you will ever experience, no exaggeration ! Once you go Bikram you don't go back ! Like seriously, I can't go back to regular yoga, it's just not as fulfilling. Bikram is basically 90 minutes of yoga in a 104 degree sauna room. It is a series of standing postures and ends off with a series of floor postures. 

To get through it you just have to know your bodies limits, and really open yourself up and embrace the heat and stretches. Normal feelings are those of dizziness or a slight headache if your not used to it, but the object is to stay in the room ! Don't leave in the middle of class or else you are not getting the full benefit of the hot yoga. Once you get used to it you will be hooked. 

Bikram is great because it increases flexibility, tones you up, reduces stress, increases energy and stamina, heals old injuries and regenerates scar tissue, expands lung capacity, relieves chronic pain, promotes circulation, improves balance, improves healthy function of organs and body systems, and more. I drag anyone and everyone that I can with me to yoga, young, old, male, female and by far one of my friends was the most funniest and dramatic about it. Funny thing is that is wasn't even one of my girlfriends, it was a guy lol. This is an excerpt of his fb status after the class: 

"So I tried Bikram yoga today for the first time with Jasmen which is basically doing yoga in a hot room that is a billion degrees lol. We were literally doing all these positions in the fiery pit of hell lol. Imagine the hottest day on earth and it still wouldn't compare. Then the instructor was telling us to do all this stuff with this smooth, calming voice, which did not make the pain go away. Talking about open your chest like a lotus flower blooming... Huh ??? I don't even know what a lotus flower is, let alone when its blooming lol. All in all it was a dope experience. Yoga is not easy by any means, do not be fooled. But yes I would do it all over again lol" 

All in all I love Bikram yoga and I recommend it to everyone ! And everyone reading, I challenge you all to try a 7 day, or 30 day challenge. I promise you will feel amazing or your money back !! Ok maybe I don't have the authority to give you your money back but just trust me, try it at least once and you will see why I'm so enthusiastic about it ! Namaste :)
