Hi,
I still a newbie when it comes to bikram yoga as I have only done about a 20 classes. I cycle and run a couple of times a week and have noticed that my running and cycling is greatly improved after doing bikram yoga. I have been practicing yoga 2-3 times a week for the last month. Went for a run last night for the first time in a week and noticed that I had more energy. I was able to run further than I had in the past. I can only put this down to the yoga. On the bike I have noticed that I feel stronger and am able to hold my pace for a much longer time. It maybe the placebo effect but hey I’ll take it.
I am training for a marathon and half ironman so it will be interesting trying to fit all the training in around yoga as I would still like to practice 2-3 times a week.
