Just wondering who here has thoughts on bikram. have done it a few times - horrific during it but feel good after. have some back pain and i recall after one session the back felt bad but the next day it felt good. looking for some input before i might try it regularry for a few weeks..

I just be careful with the initial heat of the room due dehydration etc. I know the heated studio is desigened to heat the muscles more but is it really necessary to be heated so much?

I practise and studying be ashtanga teacher - this is a very fluid style of yoga -i work up massive sweat (due breatning techniques and the vinyasa flow) during my practise so personally i dont see the need for the extreme heated studios, especially with summer coming up.

I enjoyed the bikram just not the heat.
I find with yoga that there are certain styles that suit certain people - if you find a style you like stick at it - all styles of yoga are beneficial and in the end it comes down to personal preference

i did for several yrs and loved, only gave it away due to the time impost.
like all things its about consistency, and surrender (the heat, in my case my own physical inadequacies etc)
hydrate heavily after and stick with it...

and johanbotha, u cant do kosher bikram full series in 30 mins....
