One Comment She Said: I just started getting into Bikram yoga. I was never one for yoga, but my roommate insisted that I joined her, so I signed up for 10 day introductory classes. I read up on testimonials and became very excited, however when I got into the room, I thought, “I should be out running!”
As I started this 90 minute, intensely hot class, I had difficultly keeping my mind focused (still do). Sometimes I think that this yoga is so good and I have to stick with it and other times I’m saying, “Hey! This isn’t intense! go run and cylce.” Mind you – Bikram yoga is VERY intense.
Yoga is very hard to do. Keeping steady, in a position for a very long time is difficult. Keeping your mind from wondering is just as hard. Trying not to tighten your face because something is being to hurt — another story. Of course, sweat is insanely dipping off your body so you become slippery!
My legs are pretty tight from running and cylcing, but so far at yoga, I starting to find myself putting my knee and head together. I also notice an increase in appetite. Is that good or bad?
I go to the Bikram Yoga Studio here in Back Bay. They also teach classes at Harvard Square and the Financial District.
The post is really informative. There is one type of yoga known as Bikram yoga. It is regarded as most intensive. This kind of yoga yoga involves 26 different postures and 2 peathing exercises in 90 minutes. The exceptionality of Bikram yoga is that it is practiced in extreme heat.
