After 2 years of practicing Bikram, I would advise a 1st timer to stay with it... go as often as you can your first 6 months and as many consecutive days as you can. Drink lots of water, make sure you keep breathing and listen. Don't try to muscle through it, go step by step, even if it seems you're not progressing with the postures. Focus on yourself and block out the distractions. |

Bikram Yoga is the only thing that has ever worked after all these years. |

After cheerleading and playing softball through my four years of college I never thought I would find a work out that gave me the same feelings. Bikram does, and the class energy is like being on a team again, it definitely lifts you up if you are feeling down or having a rough class. |

Don't worry about being perfect, what you look like, etc. Believe me, others in the class aren't watching you, they are working on their own postures. |
