    My first class was with Bikram’s cousin in San Francisco who would literally stop class until everyone was perfect (2 1/2 hour classes at times!) … I thought that was how Bikram yoga was. Each class I would leave feeling half dead, yet really wanted to return. I loved how I felt afterward. In retrospect that was a good way to begin … many of the poses that I do well were because he taught each pose (rather than just reading the script which I experience more often these days).

    Hi!

    I used to do all sorts of exercise – running, lifting, swimming. But, when I started Bikram I only did Bikram (still do), 5 or 6 times a day. I noticed a HUGE weight decrease, and also change in body shape and size within the first 3 months. My body still continues to become more toned and leaner and my eating habits have changed as well (although i am still working on diet – it has improved A LOT!). Good luck and keep up a practice where you work hard every day you are there and “move with intention.”

    Thank you!

    How long have you been practicing? I’m starting to practice again — after gaining weight, about 35 lbs, so I’m 164 lbs — and it would be so encouraging to hear from others who have done this.

    I am becoming a vegetarian again — found this supplement (E3 Live) that helps w/ energy levels. So, I”m hoping that the next few months will reveal a lighter, healthier, and happier, me! 🙂

    Thank you!

    I will do a minimum of 4 sessions a week with the goal of doing 6 most weeks.

    Thank you for having this forum — it’s been very helpful for me.
