I was 54 and going to the gym regularly, so I was strong but lacking flexibility. A friend recommended Bikram yoga to me – I had never heard of it before. She suggested it because by nature I am very focused. My first class was tough but I got through it. Within 6 months I found I was calmer in meetings and even more able to focus. Now after 3.5 years my flexibility is better but nowhere near what I want or expect. Hot yoga is the most difficult thing I have ever done – I compare it to when I was a wrestler in HS, but I was young then. Now at 57 it can sometimes be torture or bliss, I am never quite sure how my practice will turn out. I just bought the Masterclass so I am looking forward to finding ways to improve and acheive that flexibility that continues to elude me.
Namaste!
