Have you tried Bikram yoga?

MissDiscipline

Hi! I'm interested in starting bikram yoga, but a little nervous I won't be able to keep up (or that I'll faint lol).
Has anyone tried it? And what do you think? Is it for beginners(I've only done a couple of classes of Ashtang)
What would you recommend if not Bikram? Thanks!!

Yes Love it!!!!! Couple of classes will be difficult. First class you want to leave the room because its so hot and think to yourself why the heck you came. But don't give up it gets better and into the next 2 weeks u get use to the heat and ur postures get better.

Bikram there are no beginners or advanced class evryone does the same posture. Do what you can do, takes people many years to go in deep in positions.

How's ashtanga? I have always wanted to try it. But thought it would be too difficult for me.

Ashtanga was very difficult for me, but I'm not very flexible so it didn't come as a big surprise It is a great workout though!

do they do chanting and mediation? Bikram yoga just goes into the postures.

MissDiscipline

it's just synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures The pace is a bit quicker than the basic yoga I've done. But the results are a lot quicker too!
