Bikram yoga is amazing, i recomoned it for overweight ppl, athletes with injuires, toning ur muscles, flexibilty, fat loss!!!!! This will change ur life as it helps ur skin, ur blood system and evrything ur health will e amazing, do it 4 times a week if not everyday!!!
@fresswolf I suppose it depends on the person doing the yoga.I havent run into that problem. And I havent run into any individuals that have had the issue of overstretching. I like it myself and I would definitely recommend it.
'People in London don't sweat enough.' Really? This woman has obviously never been on a tube in the rush hour. Think the guys who go have an advantage though - plenty of eye candy for them. But not sure I want to be so close to so many old men with beer guts hanging everywhere. Eugh.
Come on ! Most people dehydrate themselves on a night of drinking ! Just look at people who do yoga, they all are healthy and optimistic. Gotta love the lifestyle man.
@NolavAvaloN After the first session you start to get used to the heat quite quickly. The key thing is staying in the room for the full 90 minutes, even if that means sitting down for 85 of those 90 minutes ;)
@scarred10 It is actually quite effective for weightloss - many of the secondary affects also affect body mass through regulation of appetite, encouraging you to hydrate well, etc.
@scarred10 Not true. I took a semester of Bikram Yoga last year at my university. I only had it twice a week and I didn't really change much else in my lifestyle (eating, other exercise) but I lost about one pound a week from it.
@AxePittbull the only thing to do is keep trying. Point your foot in the direction where you want it to go and it will eventually go there. I've been practicing for over a year and it's only now that my left foot can wrap around....barely. Still can't do it on the right but, they say BIkram is a game of millimeters. Keep practicing.
@illjustleavethen no,in yoga you do as much as you can.you should stop when you feel pain.its to be expected if your not used to doing it,but if you keep it up your body will adapt.
does anyone have any tips for staying in the room. I always walk out 1 time! i'm so mad at myself! been doin Bikram for 1.5 months everyday. i want to stay in the room.
@AxePittbull just lay there and and let your mind and soul relax. I was told my first day that the most important thing is just to stay in the room the whole 90 minutes, don't need to do all the postures.
I've practiced Bikram for 3 years in LA and Chicago, and just moved to London. I tried the studio at Canary Wharf, and it wasn't just hot enough. I hardly even broke a sweat. Can anybody who has practiced at BY city ( London), tell me if they keep the temperature and humidity high enough?
I actually would love to try this out, but I have circulatory problems and I feel dizzy very fast, so is this hot air not good for me? Can you recommend it for teenagers,too?
@guschdel123 I tend to get dizzy easily as well but I did the bikram and it did not bother me to badly whenever I would feel a bit light headed I would just stand at the back of my mat, kneel, or go into dead man pose, before you go in though bring up the concern with the yogi and they can tell you what is appropriate for you to do when you feel light headed in that particular studio. =) I hope you try it and love it.
@diamond710 Okay,I hope I can find a studio in my city because I live in germany and I think there are not as many studios here as in the USA! Thanks a lot :)
I did my first Bikram class a day ago. It was the hardest thing I've ever done and it was a challenge just to stay in the room and breathe but I got through about six of the poses before falling in a heap. I'm going back this week and sticking with it :)
I just started practicing Bikram two weeks ago, my background is long distance running and I have never felt so good after a run as I do after Bikram. Its a fantastic workout for the body and the mind. I have found in only two weeks an improvement in both my flexibility, muscle tone and strength, and my mental strength.
Yes its very hard, and sometimes you want to just walk out. But thats part of the practice, letting go and breathing through it.
it's ok it will kick start your body to get back in shape. i notice they don't have the tacky, stinky carpets in london, they do in NY, also horrid flourescent lights so when they go on about how healthy it is you can't help but laugh. i'll take hot yoga from somewhere more pleasant after my 1 st month Bikram yoga is really disrespectful to its students. he must be real cheap too you pay 4 water!
it seems like it is extremely tiring....if I started working out in 40 degrees,I'd faint in the 5th minute.My blood pressure would be really up high.I dont know how people can workout in blistering hot conditions....
@wannaknowit depends on what kind of shape you're in, your energy levels that day etc. The heat is something you get used to after a few classes, it's certainly hot but hardly "blistering". Anyway as they say, you don't know until you try :)
This makes me incredibly excited to start Bikram - I would LOVE to right this very moment and every other moment but will have to wait til the new year.
I go almost everyday, and I LOVE it. There is no better work out. You see the progress very soon and that is what is the best about it. I feel like I look better every day when I look at myself in the mirror in the studio. BTW very nice little movie. I am coming to London in December so I hope I will be able to come to your class.
The comment about this yoga not being for overweight people is totally incorrect.
I've been doing Bikram yoga for quite awhile and there are ALL shapes and sizes in the classes. Some people look like contortionists and some can't touch their toes. Everyone works to the best of their ability with no judgement. That's why yoga is called a "practice".
I am very physically fit but have poor flexibility, always have. I want to try this because I love yoga and this looks like a great workout but I am still just so NOT flexible! Do people who cant touch their head to their knees and such do this too?
@OCgirliechick - Yes people "who cant (sic) touch their head to their knees" do this. Those who are flexible have been doing it for a few months. The room does stink of perspiration when you first enter, but not while the class is on as there are ceiling fans and extractors going all the time together with the heat being pumped in.
I did my first 2 classes this week and it's the best exercise I've EVER done. It works the whole body and your heart rate gets higher than if you're running.
@Enerjee, thank you for answering my questions. For the record I have been doing yoga for a very long time I'm thin and in good shape. I still cant touch my head to my knees. Some people just cant.
@julietaruss33 - yeah, I'd say it's the best exercise I've ever done too. It's 90 minutes exercise and you can keep it going because there's the instructor keeping you motivated through the microphone throughout. It's also low impact so it minimises or even eliminates joint damage. Heart rate increases to 130 bpm.
i am over weight and just starting Bikram. I thought i was not going to be able to do it. Although the first days i felt like passing out it soon felt easy. it is for everyone its amazing
I want to attend my local class, but I'm really self conscious. I'm gonna make the effort though, cos I'm bloody awful to be around at the moment lol!
Hey, do you think a fifteen year old could go? Or is it too grueling. I want to do this before my gym workout and before football spring training in May.
I'm 14 and I am going to attend my first Hot Yoga class tomorrow. I'm not sure if Hot Yoga is the same as Bikram Yoga, or if there's any variation, but I think the temperature and humidity of the room should be the same. For teenagers, Hot Yoga could be a concern if sweat pores are not fully developed, as is sometimes the case in a growing body. If your yoga studio offers Reduced Heat classes, you should try that first. If not, take your chances, but consult a professional Yoga instructor first.
Yeah, im 15 and i do it every day, but i would really think it depends on the person. Its really really really hard, and it takes a lot of will power and concentration. They tell you , the first time you go, that it is your first goal to stay in the room for the full 90 minutes. I have only had to leave once and thats just because i wasnt feeling well anyways. I would really really recommend this.. i know this is like 4 months late, but if you haven't done it, do it for sure hope this helps :)
