My Bikram Experience

So, I've always wanted to try Bikram. But that little annoyance called "fear" was always in my way. Fear of the unknown. Fear of going to a new studio and not knowing anyone. Fear of being too hot, throwing up, insert excuse here. A few weeks ago though, I saw a deal on LivingSocial that was too good to pass up. It was 10 classes for a great price, so I went ahead and bought it. I convinced one of my friends to buy it with me. We planned on going together, except after two failed attempts...I ended up going alone. I was nervous...I had to force myself to walk into those doors and explain that I had never been there before. Oh, I am so glad I did.

My experience with Bikram has been positive so far. I have gone twice. I plan on going two more times this week. I love the feeling that the heat brings to my body. It shows just how amazingly capable our body is when we just let it do what it can without thinking. I've seen some small successes so far and enjoy how my body and spirit feel after the class. I love how much water I have to drink throughout the day. I love how it's intensity for a short time, reaping multiple benefits and successes. I even think it's neat that even though each class is the same series of 26 asanas (poses), it can feel entirely different because of where your body and mind are that day. I look forward to completing this month, seeing how I feel...and continuing on. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Namaste.
