| - Bikram's "meditation strategy" is to keep a constant stream of instructions/talking, so you have no time to think. Your mind is supposed to be empty for 90 minutes as they continuously tell you what to do.
If you like to be left alone with your thoughts, try moksha instead.
That said, I've been to this studio a good number of times by now, and I'm started to recognise some of the teachers. Most of them are mediocre, bearable but not enjoyable. I always like being in Chris' class since he is challenging, engaging, and friendly (plus he likes Bachelor Pad! Instant cred).
I've found they turn the heat pretty high at this studio...usually above 40, I would guess. Some teachers have a preference for high heat, some for low--again, experiment with the teachers and see who you like.
I wish they would have a teaching schedule so you could know before class which teacher will be leading the class at any given time, but I haven't been able to find one.
The last tip--facing the windows, the left side of the room is the "cool side" while the right side is the "hot side". Choose your spot wisely...predictably, the cool side fills faster so get into the room early and put your mat down to stake out your spot.
The spot slightly to the right of the left door (confused yet?) is the most coveted spot, since you get a breeze every time that door is opened.
