    I have to have a plan otherwise, all hell breaks lose once I am home!
    I can tell I’ve been needing more protein since I began Bikram. To the point where I’ve been making hamburgers (bison!) at home and made bean enchiladas for dinner.
    I definitely need protein for lunch the day I have Bikram – I go to class at night. If not, I am woozy. I almost need to eat a larger than normal lunch that day to sustain me or I get woozy.

    I, too, have had a hard time finding info. on my home practice. This morning, I got out my 1970’s Bikram book from the library, and my small space heater.
    Cranked that sucker way up, let the room heat for about 15 minutes (small guest room), stuck towels under the closet door and entry door, too.
    I had a nice, warm practice this morning.
    Definitely NOT as hot as class. But totally warm and relaxing. I have a SMALL space (the room also had a bed, dresser, TV, etc).

    One thing I found was that I really pushed myself to advance poses- head to knee for example. I didn’t care about anyone looking at me or getting corrected. I had to keep looking at my book which was annoying but SOO helpful.
    Worked at the poses for about an hour and 15.

    If I had the sequence memorized, it would be so much better.
    Good luck!
