A little bit over a month ago, my dear friend Johanna encouraged me to sign up for Bikram yoga with her. She went on about how much it helps with weight lost, how it would help my arthritis ect ect. Finally I said ok, I will do it, $30 for 30 days wasn’t a bad deal so I figured why not. I must say my first class was brutal. Anyone who says Bikram yoga is easy is lying. It was the hardest thing I have ever tried. I wasn’t sure what to expect but since I am trying to be open minded about things I decided to just go with it. The room felt like the subway station in July, hot, smelly and crowded. Once I got pass the smell, I settled into my little corner and made it through the entire 90 minute session without passing out. When I went home that night, I had THE best sleep of my life. I felt younger, my skin felt amazing and my body felt great. It was then I realized that Johanna wasn’t lying. I went to 5 classes and I must say they did help with my back, and most of all it help me realize that I can do things I never though would be possible. Bikram yoga is a mind and body experience, it teaches you that the body can and will do anything the mind tells it to do.  One more item checked off the “to do list as Rhy calls it since I am way too young to have a bucket list.

Oh another benefit Bikram yoga has is the ability to be flexible, I can now bend my body a lot easier than before 😉

I  plan on continuing trying out new things and encourage anyone and everyone to do the same. I am so glad that I have a friend like Johanna who always encourages and invites me to do tons of new and different things and never stops until I say yes. Love her to death.

Below is a video of what its like  enjoy!
