I love this site! Eight years into my Bikram practice and I still can’t do a lot of poses and I now realize on reading here that I’ve just accepted what I can’t do and don’t even try. Never in eight years have I held Standing Bow for a full minute on either side. But one thing I wanted to ask about, in Awkward, over the last six months, I’ve got screaming pain in my hip flexors, on the last two parts of it and I have no idea why. Has anyone else experienced this?

Wow, this is a cool place. I just discovered it by accident three days ago, while trying to send a Bikram website to a friend. I was shocked to read about pushy and bullying teachers. It made me sit back and think back over my last eight years of doing Bikram yoga and all the fabulous teachers that have come and gone through my favourite studio. I cannot think of a bad one. Well, okay, maybe one, and it was just that she was really young and had a chippy attitude. She wasn’t there long. I like the fact that they all teach differently, I learn different things from different teachers, but it’s all been really, really good.

I’m on day 18 of a 30-day challenge and am really enjoying it. I’m eating less and feeling great. I’ve also pulled out my juicer from the ’90s and am re-using it after reading YogaBody’s recommendations on drinking greens before yoga. But, of couse, now I can’t tell if I’m having good classes from drinking greens or because I’m on day 18!
