I...I'm from Minnesota, I have fair hair and skin... I am not built for heat. So, that makes Bikram's method extra hard for me. One of the first asana is a back bend, that is too soon for me, I need to warm up for that, especially now that I am pretending to be a powerlifter.<BR/><BR/>I think Bikram is asana based exercise, like almost all yoga practiced in the USA, including what I do. There is so much more to actual Yoga than the asana. No one is enlightened practicing asana. LOL! <BR/><BR/>If Bikram makes you happy and you enjoy it... that is the most important part. Life is too short to spend one moment suffering! <BR/><BR/>I think you would really like my teacher Lisa... she is all about the joy of asana, just like you said in your message. You are right on about not struggling and letting it happen. Very insightful Tracy.fawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10791959590164539258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-47844691391911615922008-05-29T20:35:00.000-07:002008-05-29T20:35:00.000-07:00Fawn,I can't wait to go to one of your yoga classe...Fawn,<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to go to one of your yoga classes!
