30 Day Bikram Yoga Challenge

ecookk

Hi all,

I am on my 11th day of the 30 Day Bikram Yoga Challenge at my yoga studio, and I was wondering if anyone has done it before and has some experience to share? How did you feel after the 30 days, did you hit any walls?

I am loving it, and improving drastically, except that my knees seem to be getting worse and there are now a few postures I cannot do, as opposed to being able to master them a few weeks ago!

I am a dancer and was already flexible before starting Bikram, but feel like instead of getting better at some of the postures, I am getting wose.

My instructor said I may have hyperextended my knees and thats why this is happening but would love to hear other peoples experiences on this.

omg bikram is the toughest workout i've ever done! I used to max at about 3 times a week, i think i did 4 maybe once! I applaud you for doing as much as you have!!!! I love it though it is amazing! I find when you have an injury or just a 'tired' muscle it gets soooo much harder and sometimes impossible. Just keep going the benefits will out weigh everything else

I've been doing thr 30 day challenge and I'm now on day eight. I, too, have a similar problem with my knees; I can't "lock it out" for the tree pose and that other pose where you're supposed to extend your leg. I think like all things you have good days and bad days. Give it time.

I love Bikram yoga, have done it 180 day challenge

but i burned out, after that challenge it took me 2 years to go back

for me i noticed regular bikram took away my pains and aches, even fixed my crooked toes, no kidding

but yes not listening to my body was wrong, i did over stretch my muscles

if i did it 4 to 5 times a week it was enough, it fixed my body alignment as well

just went back to bikram yesterday after a two month break!

i love bikram in moderation!!!
