I used to be very very active working out all the time but stopped about 2 years ago. I was wondering for my first time should i bring anything special? I do not have a yoga mat do i need to bring one? Hello I live near by and have tried hot yoga once before a couple years ago and I loved it.

A teacher might mention it for your own good but I highly doubt they would yell or be mean about it, especially me. If you're just visiting it should be fine, but if you were a regular then unfortunately too many others, especially new people will follow and then it's hard to break bad habits. I hope to see you in class. Feel free to call if you need anything. Thanks, Chris Rose 727-504-2327 We are typically a lot more laid back at this studio.

I've been doing hot yoga for 7 years and have found some Bikram studios to be a little militant. If I were at one of your classes, would I be confronted if I need to use a washcloth to wipe the sweat out of my eyes or use a washcloth to help with my grip on certain postures?

And to thank you for all of your help and guidance. I have and am very lucky to learn from you guys. You and Kim have been so helpful. And I thank you. Maybe one day a bunch of us can get together for a cookout near the gulf. The sun is pretty today. Glad I pushed through both classes.

As a 55-year-old woman who does cardio 3x a week, I explained that I suffer from lower back issues and I also have a metal pin in my right foot, which makes some postures a bit uncomfortable--but not impossible. Both Chris and Kim urged me to go only to the limit that worked for me. I listen to my body and do not feel the need to be perfect. But I do challenge myself and feel "cleansed" after each class. I have found the instructors to be nurturing and very encouraging. When they see that I am trying my best to get the most out of a posture, they compliment me--and that is a great reward! After only four classes, I can see and feel improvement. The first class was intimidating. There are other, much more able students, and the temperature took some getting used to. But the students are welcoming and friendly, and after my fourth class, which was today, I am looking forward to continuing! I have had a few aches and pains, which comes with all forms of exercise and stretching. Overall, I feel wonderful! I agree with Chris. Bikram Yoga is not easy. I know the limitations of my body and push myself a little more each time . . . and, yes, I have skipped postures and simply rested on my mat. I want to be the best me that I can be. Thank you, Chris and Kim for being so encouraging and talented at what you do. I am on my way to feeling great, being at peace with myself, and ready to face each new day--refreshed and renewed!

Bikram Yoga is absolutely the best type of yoga for beginners ESPECIALLY one with back issues. I've been doing it and teaching it for almost 10 years now and before that worked in western physical therapy for 3 years. I have seen amazing results to say the least. Kim is most definitely a great example of what this yoga can do for you, she has suffered from some major injuries the arm probably being the least of them and this yoga has changed her life. She is also right about performing the poses with near perfection. That doesn't mean you have to go as far as an advanced student, you just have to go as far as YOU can the RIGHT way. Thus, there are not any modifications in Bikram Yoga. The precise instruction you receive in Bikram Yoga guides you as far as you can go in the RIGHT way. Everyone starts from the beginning of the pose and goes as far into the pose they can the right way with honest effort and your body will receive 100% benefit from the pose. Absolutely everyone can benefit from this yoga no matter their situation. I know that's a very bold statement, but I have seen it over and over again. The best thing you can do for your back is to practice 4 to 5 times a week for the first 2 months (at least 3 times a week), I know because of responsibilities that can be very hard to do but pain can be a huge motivator. If you do you will realize why a regular practice and the teacher's instruction is so important. You will practice the same postures so you WILL improve and you will get to know precisely the ONLY way to do these postures. Unfortunately their is no time to ask questions during class, but ANY Bikram Yoga teacher will be more than happy to answer any questions anytime before and after class. You can also see a lot more testamonials and benefits in Bikram's book and on the internet. Believe me I know it's not easy, but the benefits will pay you 10 fold. I used to work 12 hour shifts too and when I started doing Bikram Yoga regularly at the end of the day I was in a great mood and my knees, back and feet felt great! Feel free to call me if you have any questions. Best wishes! Chris Rose 727-50-2327 <code> Hey Suz,
