HOW
OFTEN SHOULD I COME? For
best results, you should practice at least 3 times a week, optimally 5 times a
week, so the different body parts and systems keep the benefits and continue to
evolve and correct themselves.
We encourage
you to come as often as you can with an unlimited yoga card. Bikram yoga requires
your dedication for you to feel its total benefits. WHAT
IF I CANNOT STAND THE HEAT? In
the beginning you may find that the heat, combined with intense exercise, is too
much for you. You can always sit through a pose if necessary during class, and
then start again. Avoid leaving the room during class so you can become acclimated
to the heat. You will get used to it quickly and soon will learn to love it. It
will help your practice progress quickly.
