this video is stupid, this is the right "type of yoga" for everyone. I would suggest you get the facts straight and not post redundant ignorance. This class is practiced the world over with millions of people benefiting from it. It works, period

well said babspace! :)

true dat babspace :)

She sounds like an idiot. Period.

If a beginner with high blood pressure goes into a heated room and over does it without any caution they'll have problems, And if you start any form of hatha yoga with a joint injury you have to be very careful to slowly stretch it or you'll do much more damage than good. Of course if you are careful and do it properly both conditions will be improved, but she is rightly urging caution not saying these conditions disqualify you

I really don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. Take a Bikram class or read his book.

I really don't think that you have anything to do with that! She just warned about it! She didn't say that it's forbidden if you have joint distubances and high blood pressure!

[Babspace]

Erm, the series was DEVELOPED to heal joint disturbances, and the literature all says it lowers blood pressure.

You sound like a Valley Girl idiot.

Oh, and brush your hair.
