    Hi Gabrielle,

    Thank for taking the time to respond.

    The true story was helpful. i do need to rely on results and my intuition. The first time i went it “felt ” right for me. i am a 53 year old woman and yes hormonally challenged. The body feels like it is going through a huge shift. Bikram is definitely helping with the mood swings. i meditate, but with the yoga i feel even more centered and mindful. Also challenged with a foot surgery in the past year that has left me with 2 screws in 2 toes,hip bursitis and scoliosis. The visits between chiropractic visits has lengthened and the back really feels better. i started Bikram at the end of Dec. i go 3 times a week. For the short time i have going, the results are quite amazing.

    Am just starting to dive into your forum and advice….all helpful and appreciated..
    peace robin
    PS..what a joy to have found such a warm and welcoming place to have my concerns addressed….

    hi..the first time i tried Bikram i was hooked so i guess that says something and i am feeling so good…had foot surgery last year so my running days are over and i was burnt out with the weight lifting…the yoga has improved the foot i had surgery on as well as the back and weight is stable. i tried to go to a regular yoga class last week and the class had been cancelled so maybe that was a sign 🙂 Thanks for your input. Once the hip bursitis calms down i will get back to walking for some extra cardio…..am over 50 with a whole shift in the body taking place so just trying to do the right thing…

    Thanks for responding. How do you feel? I haven’t done cool yoga yet to make a comparison. Again thank you.

    Hi All,

    i am a newbie and this forum has been so helpful. As for the hands slipping i noticed i was having same problem. These posts taught me that ALL parts of the body need to become stronger and am confident that with practice that this too shall pass….thanks to all of you….
