Well,
I'm the one who asked about weight bearing, aerobics in regard to Bikram. Thanks for your feedback.
I do have to say that I have never tried any other yoga except for Bikram, except for a few hatha classes.
Over the last few weeks, I was all involved in worrying about heat, blood pressure etc. Yesterday
I went to class with one of my favorite teachers without my heart monitor and I forgot to measure my blood pressurs. What a great class!
The reason I do Bikram, is that it makes me feel VERY good, I dream about the positions, I enjoy the way my body smells when i practice ( after the shower), I walk on air. It's the next best thing to drugs.
Do other people feel a change in mood and consciousness when doing Bikram?

| I sure do feel a change for the better Peg. A sense of acomplishment for one thing and that I spent that time on myself on the road to enhanced mental and physical well being. |

| Haven't tried Bikram, but I find that I have similar feelings after my classes as well. When you dream about a position do you try it the very next day? I do, and I find that I can get places in a pose that I couldn't get the day before with maximum efforting - it's like my subconcious just tells my body I'm ready for it, lets me know in the dream and there you have it. There are many times I leave class with grin on my face for hours, just from having gone to practice and completely given in to the power of it all. During one class I grinned through what seemed to be a million rounds of sun salutations (probably 8-10, really) just from the exhiliration of being there and energy that was being sent out by everyone in the room. Also find that I crave certain postures - just an intuitive need for whatever balancing effect it holds... |

| I agree totally. I do believe we practice postures in our sleep --- afterall it's all in the mind, and the hamstrings. peggy |
