    You will receive a copy of the teachers’ dialogue when you register for training. I recommend applying as early as you can so that you have several months to memorize the dialogue. A large part of Bikram yoga teacher training takes place in posture clinics during which you will need to teach, working with one posture at a time, each of the postures to several of your fellow students reciting the dialogue verbatim. This takes place in front of senior teachers and your peers. Memorizing the dialogue before you arrive will reduce the stress of training tremendously. Also by working with your studio owner as mentor in the memorization task, you will get insights into the postures and delivery techniques which will ultimately take you from “dialogue reciter” to true teacher.

    The advanced class practices the full 84 asanas from which our 26 asanas and two breathing exercises are derived. Tony Sanchez (United States Yoga Association) has a poster and CD showing this full asana series.

    Another thing that might help: press the little fingers of your extended hands against the floor. This provides leverage to help you lower the hips.
