Yoga Strength

Question:
Hi all, I’ve developed a whole eating routine that I do on days when I do my Bikram class to make sure I get enough potassium and salt.  Because I have really super low blood pressure naturally I tend to really load up on the salt (mostly V8 and pretzels) or [...]

Question:
  I got a haircut. The old russian mama was delighted to see me. She was trying to be extra nice as if Iam some kinda celebrity. My heart stopped when she was done with the haircut and went for the mirror to show the backside of my head. Last time she [...]

Question:
Let’s not forget that Bikram originally developed his style specifically for back rehabilitation purposes. As such, many of the poses focus on strengthening and stretching the back muscles. The set is static so as to not surprise the body. I do Bikram once a month to keep [...]

I’m still amazed at how doing *some* yoga (Ashtanga / power yoga) has yielded continual benefits, even quite awhile after having slacked off [...]

Question:
My yoga teacher cancelled class last night because the room was too cold ~ 60 degrees.
I’d say 60 is too cold if you’re just doing a general class. It’s hard to relax and it’s easier to get hurt.  We had a room that was usually 66, and everyone wore lots [...]

Question:
Why can’t you do Bikrams? Then you would combine the sauna with the yoga? Are you not close enough to a studio? Come to San Francisco. Theres a new Bikrams everyday. Then again, don’t come here unless you are independantly wealthy. Its too expensive and currently there are no jobs. [...]

Question:
Be careful about mixing Bikram yoga and CFS.  Before you up and quit the Bikram (which you appear to enjoy) try doing a long child’s pose (5 or six minutes) followed by an even longer Savasana (15, 30, or even 60 minutes) on the 4 days a week that you don’t go [...]
