I don't really understand the contentious nature that exists between Bikram students and Hot Yoga students and to be honest, the more I learn the sadder I get. I understand why exists between Bikram, himself and those teachers that have chosen to go their own way. I understand why they would have hard feelings.  But for it to have carried over to so many others...to have such tension exist

I was thinking about the changes that I see in my practice since my 3 week "break". It's interesting because some of my bad habits are simply gone. Such as: Wiping Sweat Obsession over water  Wiping my hands on my shorts I'm glad they slipped away! Day 1's practice was once again a good session. I love practicing with the group that was invited to the private (Thanks again John!). They are all

I'm back...after a bout of strep throat, then pneumonia, my grandfather passing away, finding out I've been a victim of identity theft (what a mess!) and general Christmas/Holiday craziness, I FINALLY found my way back to the studio after 3 weeks off! I missed my yoga friends, the yoga high and the calmness I feel after practicing. Perhaps, it was a good thing though, in a way, to make me see

Ugh, I'm such a whiner right now. I've been sick for the last five days and have missed Bikram that entire time. I started out with Strep Throat, got antibiotics and that seemed to whip that and now I've got something else. Not good...not good at all. I'm hoping that I am better tomorrow and can head back to the studio and a nice dinner afterwards with real wine, not this incessant complaining I

Have you ever had a class where you realized you were simply running on cruise control? I was reflecting on my practice tonight and came to the realization that was me tonight. I want a redo right now! Alas, I will have to wait for the 5:30 tomorrow night. I went to the 4:30 with Paula and was so looking forward to it....and then to just cruise through it! Ahhhhh! I'm a wee bit frustrated with

Gosh, tonight was one of those nights where I wonder how I lived before yoga? I went and got my silly knee looked at before class by an Orthopedist. The imaging showed a bone bruise. So, all and all not bad news considering what it could have been. I had the bloody fluid aspirated from just below my knee cap and it feels loads better than it did earlier. Due to the procedure taking longer than

Today marks three months since I've started practicing! To be honest my first 30 days weren't all that consistent. Once October rolled around I made a commitment to myself to do at least 5 days per week and have been pretty successful with that. Yeah, me! These are the changes I see in myself thus far: Increased endurance. When I first started I seriously thought I was going to die. I know, I
