I found it difficult to return to my old studio after my hip fracture and replacement due to my modifications and lack of support in this from the owners. It is a very traditional ‘Bikram’ studio and can be pretty over the top and hard core. I was told NOT to modify (that the yoga would cure all LOL) and that it was “Bikram yoga not Amy yoga”. Needless to say I smiled inside and let him think and feel his own stuff and have faith in his own beliefs. I on the other hand feel that it IS actually AMY yoga as it is MY body and will honor what is right for me. ……. So I have been just as happy with my home practice in my sauna and the world moves on.
I recently heard of new studio that opened however and was very excited ! it is a hot yoga studio not a franchise and after talking with the owners and looking around went for a 10 pass to try it out. I had my second class at the new place this afternoon and am LOVING it AHHHH the hardwood rather than the carpet and the encouragement and atmosphere is 180 YEAH
PS all the regulars from my old studio were all there LOL it was like coming home and we all had a good giggle
