As we all know spring break is approaching quickly! Are you looking for a workout that gets you hot? If so, Bikram Yoga is for you. I don’t mean just looking hot, but hot in temperature as well! It is certainly a workout. Bikram Yoga just moved to the University of New Hampshire. It is located in downtown Durham on Madbury Road.
This yoga class is not like any other yoga class. First of all if you don’t like the heat, maybe this workout is not for you. If you are hesitant on this workout, I highly suggest you at least try one class. Bikram offers 10 classes for 10 dollars! In the words of Jason, an instructor at Bikram Yoga, in Durham, New Hampshire,
“I believe my greatest strength as a teacher, is helping you to help yourself to learn to love yoga for what it is: magic” -Jason, an instrcutor at Bikram Yoga, Durham, New Hampshire
If you have your doubts about ‘hot’ yoga, venture to take a risk and give the ten dollars, for ten days of unlimited yoga deal, give it a try. It is well worth your time. Now you are probably wondering what exactly Bikram Yoga is and why it isn’t like any other Yoga. The first drastic difference is that you are placed in a hot room ranging from 80-100 degrees. Bikram consists of twenty-six Hatha Yoga postures and two breathing exercises.
You want to be ready for this workout. Bring yourself to class having hydrated with 1-2 liters of water throughout the day. Before you arrive, come on an empty stomach. (Do not eat 2-4 hours prior to class.) You will need to sign a waiver the first time, so arrive 15 minutes early for your first class. You will also need a mat, a big towel to cover your mat and a bottle of water! I imagine you will have an experience you will never forget and that is worthwhile, even if you don’t become an avid yoga enthusiast. Whatever your motive, it is worth a try.
“Never too late, never too old, never too sick to start from scratch once again” – Bikram Choudry.
…Because it will be your best friend in class.
(Mats are available to rent.)
…Because believe me, you will need it. (Towels are available to rent.)
I thought I could wear a shirt, I was wrong! (Spandex, sports bra, or if you aren’t comfortable with those options some others are; ¾ length yoga pants with a tank top.)
…Or you will practically burn yourself, (I learned the hard way.)
