If you seriously don't want to do Bikram anymore, that is certainly OK. I will say, however, that you are going to take yourself with you wherever you go. Meaning, if you have a tendency to push yourself too hard too fast, you're bound to hurt yourself in any yoga. Believe me, people screw up their backs & hamstrings in many types of yoga.
I don't know if you felt the atmosphere or your teacher was making you feel competetive or what, but as a Bikram teacher I am always pleading with students to back off, ESPECIALLY during Standing Head to Knee. Do students listen? Many times, no. And then, POP!
I know many "Type A" people are drawn to Bikram. I don't know that you are a Type A, I guess I'm just hoping you'll be careful and treat yourself kindly, wherever you go.
Blessings,
Gwyn

| I don't WANNA be a type A anymore--'cept I have to be for business and it's hard to let go for yoga--I need a different career. Maybe my wife will let me chuck the big $ and I can go off to Bikram teacher training and open my own place.

Still sore after Bikram
. I'm working on that. I tell myself all the time "I'm not super woman, I'm not super woman" 
I will go on with bikman, but I'll still look for another type of yoga to supplement. Thank you.
