    Do you offer yoga teacher training? Do you provide certification? What’s the cost borne?

    Hey there!

    In addition to the great advice above, please don’t discount your advice of your cardiologist. Even if they don’t know what Bikram’s is or have any idea about it, they will have specific advice for you about exercise duration, intensity and environment. He/she may recommend not exercising in extreme heat or cold, and may recommend avoiding hot tubs, for example, for reasons that may relate to your overall medical and prescription history or your past cardiac surgical history.

    The biggest key here is that you have had a cardiac incident and personally, I would seek his or her directives about exercising strenuously for 90 minutes in the high heat and humidity of summer. That is, after all, probably the most relatable circumstance to a Bikram’s class. You really can’t discount the effects that simple heat and humidity will have on your cardiovascular system, even without adding exercise to the mix. You will absolutely need to maintain your cardiovascular fitness; the key is to do it safely.

    I found this article about cardiac rehabilitation for you online:
    http://www.alive.com/47a1a2.php?subject_bread_cramb=94
    It may or may not be appropriate since we really don’t know your full medical/cardiac history. Nonetheless, the guidelines about cardiac rehab after a cardiac incident are pretty well laid out.

    Better safe than sorry?

    JMHO,

    in reply to: Bikram for weight loss – any stories for me?! #8674

    Hello Sally

    I hope you have had time to look around at the stories that so many others have already shared. You will find our most read thread here: I Am Quite Overweight And Doing Hot Yoga. Check out many inspirational stories, advice and others’ experience in this section of the forum: Weight Loss and Hot Yoga.

    It is my opinion that if you go at least 4-5 times a week and maybe even more, you can lose shape quite fast (does depend on the person – but it can happen VERY fast) and you don’t have to do any other exercise. It is your choice. When you settle into a maintenance routine then you can introduce other types of exercise.

    There are definitely differing opinions regarding what to do. Let’s see what others suggest.

    Namaste
    Gabrielle 🙂

    I really loved your links.
    Thanks for sharing

    Hi,

    look !! the first law of yoga says ahmisa means giving no pains to you nor to anyone so if by trying second level yoga pose you are facing difficulty then quit it for the time being and then start after a while following yoga poses step-by-step
