I Have Never Been To Yoga… Is This For Beginners??

YES! YES! YES! Bikram's Yoga is for everybody. Super athletes to couch potatoes.

You do not need to do other classes, yogas or mental preparations prior to attending a Bikram Class. There is a big misconception floating around that Bikram is too difficult for someone who has never done a yoga class before or exercised before. This is not true so come and try it for yourself.

How often should I practice?

You need to practice in order to figure what works best for you. Bikram says to practice my yoga for 3 months and I will give you a new body, a new life.

Is Bikram Yoga for Men?

Of course it is!!!! Bikram Yoga is for everyone. Don't use the phrase "Real men don't do yoga" because it's not true. It improves, stamina, golf swings, baseball arms, and relationships.

After my first class, I was exhausted and had a headache. Is this normal?

Yes. After 90 minutes you have worked every muscle, organ and joint in the body. It is normal to be exhausted after anything you do for 90 minutes. Generally, as a beginner, you may feel very tired after the first few classes - this is your bodys way of releasing toxins. If you experience a headache, this maybe due to lack of water. Continue to hydrate throughout the rest of day after class to replenish your lost electrolytes.

After a few classes you will be better able to manage your self and your needs. Don't give up after one class.

Will I lose weight?
