Hey all – I read both of Bikram’s yoga books and he says that for the first two months, newbies should try to go every day. I went diligently for 7 days and loved it, then because I couldn’t get to my studio in time I ended up being lazy and didn’t go for 5 days. Man oh man, coming back for the first time today was so hard, I just felt like giving up – felt all my progres had gone out the window. I’m committed to doing 2 months straight now, then switch to 5 days a week, never having more than one day in between class. Trust me, the way your body feels after so much time away is not worth it!
