Bikram Choudhury
When my friend Kristine dragged me with her to Bikram Yoga in May, I never imagined I’d still be going six months later, but here I am.
Practicing Bikram’s Yoga makes me feel strong, focused, and relaxed. It has cured my back pain, relieved my menstrual cramps, improved my stress management, and taught me a lot about my body and my mind. In order to fully appreciate the benefits of this practice, I have decided to practice this form of yoga for 30 days in a row. This is a place where I will share insights, make observations, and track my progress.
What is Bikram Yoga?…
“Bikram yoga is the single best form of yoga for the achievement and maintenance of perfect health, a perfect body, and a sharp mind. It is an intelligently designed series of 26 postures, which gives the entire body a complete 90-minute workout. It works the entire body from the inside out, from the micro to macro level, using every system of the body. It stretches and strengthens every single muscle, ligament and joint in the body.
The sequence is designed so that every posture warms up the muscles and joints needed for the next posture, in addition to working the organs, glands, and nervous system in a systematic and profound way.
The Bikram series has the deepest impact on the body’s insides and functioning. It is a challenging, exciting and vigorous series, and it gets the best results of any kind of yoga practiced today.”
