Let us know how it goes! A new studio opened up near me, and I've been toying with the idea of taking one class. (I'm so scared I'll either faint or barf.

Oh...how I love Bikram!
Hello Kariev!
My college age daughter and I Have been practicing Bikram for almost 2 years now and LOVE it! There is nothing quite like it. I hope it is all you remember it to be. keep in mind, each day you practice is a new day...same 26 asana's different day, different body as it changes within your practice. A posture that felt good one day, may not the next....sort of like life. That, I believe is the point. Hang in there with it and have fun. Be ready to lose some weight too. Especially some water at first! It has a tendency to blunt hunger so try to eat a little something within a half an hour after your class and take your last meal at least an hour and a half before class....uh, this gets allot of people in trouble. Can't wait to hear how it goes!

the class was amazing and so was the teacher. it really pushed me and i got a great workout. I think one of the most challenging things about yoga for me is that i'm not naturally good at it so i have to overcome that frustration of having to practice and work at something. My one complaint about it, the room was carpeted and with all the sweat that occurs it smelt like mildew (YUCK) Because of this i'm going to look for another studio. I just don't think that its sanitary. Other than that, the class was awsome and i hope to find another studio so i can continue.

Ahhh what a bummer that the room was smelly. Yep, I have been to a studio that was stinky and had a stinky guy in it...next to me...ugh. Our studio and it's owner is a stickler for keeping it clean. Yes, there is carpet...but we are required to use a certain kind of mat/with a towel top and rubber bottom made just for hot yoga. Makes all the difference. No perfumes, excess body odor, dryer sheet or smelly detergent usage. Strict. And I appreciate it very much. This is part of what I pay for! Hope you find another studio. ~Deb
