Recently, a dear friend of mine emailed me to ask what it is I love about the Bikram yoga?
I’ve been traveling, sick and recovering so haven’t had a chance to respond. David, here is what I love about the Bikram yoga:
Dazed and confused immediately after a bikram yoga class (notice the steam coming off my head)
1. It’s 112 degrees so I’m nice and warm the whole time (I hate to be cold)
2. The combination of the heat and the 90 minute class allows my mind to slow down
3. I sweat like crazy and feel like I’ve had a killer workout every time
4. The intensity feels like the first time, even though the poses are familiar (same 26 poses in the same order every time) It’s a guaranted workout!
5. It feels like a huge accomplishment so if nothing else gets done that day, I’m okay because I did my bikram yoga
6. I talk slower, think slower and move slower after a bikram yoga class. I take my yoga buzz with me for the rest of the day and in the midst of chaotic schedules, I am calm…

Thanks Brandy! Seems like forever since I looked over and saw you in a yoga class. I did a photo shoot for the Hermosa Beach Bikram Studio. Maybe I should give it a try, all though those poses look pretty challenging.
You look good with steam coming off of your head!

Your first 5 steps make the 6th happen and what a beautiful buzz for the rest of the day with all its demands!
Dave-You would LOVE the Bikram yoga! Yes, you should give it a month long try. There are usually 1st time specials for signing up for a month. Takes a few classes to “settle in,” so a month is a good amount of time. In my opinion, bikram poses are easier than vinyasa classes. It’s the heat that will kick your ass.
Thanks
I will send you a photo from the Bikram shoot, I don’t think I can do the pose she is in!
You’ve got great insights about bikram yoga, keep up the good work!
