My Bikram Yoga Experience...
My instructor informed me that the room was a bit warmer than usual since it was humid outside due to the rain. She was impressed that I was able to stay in the room for the full 90mins on my first visit because even some of the seasoned veterans were complaining about how hot it was. She also shared that as the seasons change, our bodies reflect what is going on in the universe. Having said that, she also explained that we might feel light headed during the class due to the upcoming seasonal change and how our bodies react to it (read about that on her blog). I can say that I only felt light headed after attempting one position where we were flipping backwards and that was a bit much for me, so I'll have to work toward mastering this pose.
By the second day, I was attempting more of the postures. As I mentioned, the postures done in Bikram yoga are the same 26 postures done in the same sequence every class. You will do each pose twice and hold it for 30 seconds at a time (if possible.. lol). The postures are intense and my abs are sore, but I have to say that Bikram yoga is AWESOME!
I'll be attending sessions every day for the next 10 days and will give you a follow up at that point as well.
