Bikram Bikram Bikram ...
This type of yoga is miserable no matter what you do. It is hot and sweaty and well basically if you have ever feared about going to hell going to one of these Bikram Yoga classes is what I would imagine hell is like. Although, Bikram is brutal it is totally worth the pain. I lost some weight with only 3 classes! Each class is 90 minutes and you do 26 poses. It is in a room that is heated to 105 degrees and 40 % humidity. I have done Bikram in the past in other yoga studios but what I really like about this studio is that it has hard flooring instead of carpet. I have been to several other studios but most have carpet and the odor from all the sweat is so nauseating. I do not get that nasty BO punch in the face when walking through the doors to get into the studio. The biggest problem with the hard flooring is that is get way hot and it hurts to step off the yoga mat.
The instructors are usually pretty nice and encourage you to do your best. The poses can get pretty hard so it is nice to have someone there to motivate you to push yourself. I do have one complaint though. There was one time that I felt like I was about to faint (which is normal in Bikram) and I really wasn't feeling good. I rolled up my mat because I honestly did not feel like I could survive the class and wanted to leave. The yoga instructor was not very sympathetic and made be put my mat back and stay in the class. Don't get me wrong I understand that their job is to push you to do your best but I was really feeling sick and I was upset that she embarrassed me in front of the class and forced me to stay. Although that was highly annoying I would suggest going to this yoga studio just make sure that you are very hydrated before entering the class.
