Testimonials

“Some years ago I hurt my knees running.  I went to several doctors, but no one could help.  I was experiencing pain nearly all day and night, and my knees only seemed to be getting worse.  I started doing Bikram yoga, and after a few months’ time, the pain in my knees began subsiding, and soon after that, it felt as if my knees were healed.  Since that experience, whenever I have any sort of ailment, I return to doing Bikram yoga regularly before I visit a doctor in hopes that things will get better.  More often than not, this seems to be the case.  I also like the added strength and flexibility that I get from Bikram yoga, as well as a greater sense of calm and well-being.”

“The first time that I walked into a Bikram yoga studio was right after a semiannual physical that I had with a doctor. I was feeling disheartened because he told me that the next time I came back he would be putting me on the fifth medication that I would be taking for the rest of my life. I felt old, expended, and like the best years of my life were in the rear view mirror. I was actually on my way home from the doctor’s office and saw the yoga studio and thought “What do I have to lose?” The studio owner told me about the incredible health benefits that people who do Bikram yoga realize. I committed to trying the practice. My recollection of my first practice was like many people’s-it was really hard. I wasn’t really planning on going back because it was so strenuous but the studio owner handed me a piece of paper that contained Bikram’s assurance that if I did 30 days straight, it would change my life., Long story short, I did 30 straight days straight and it changed my life. Six months later I went back to the doctor, and after reviewing my blood work, he looked up at me and said in an astonished tone, “What are you doing?” I said, “Bikram yoga”. He said, “Keep doing it.” Six months later, one year after I started Bikram yoga, I went for another physical. By then I was 30 pounds lighter and I felt much more relaxed and optimistic. I liked the person that I was again, and I was looking forward to what the future held for me. The doctor once again looked at my blood work and said, “I see you are still doing yoga.” I said that I was. It was after the physical that he took me off all of the medications that he had assured me I would be taking for  the rest of my life, and he informed me he wouldn’t be putting me on the blood pressure medication that he once said I would be taking for the rest of my life. Bikram yoga is still hard but I love it. And I plan on doing it for the rest of my life.”

“My regular yoga practice has helped me look better, have more energy and most importantly, feel better. As a medical acupuncturist, I recommend Bikram yoga for healing injuries, preventing illness and longevity. Whenever you start, the benefits you receive will exceed whatever you currently imagine.”

“In the 10 years that I have been doing Bikram Yoga, I have had my doctor tell me each year, ‘Whatever you are doing, keep it up.’ My heart is great – no medications. My weight is stable, I can eat what I want. My balance is more solid. My stress is still there, but more manageable by far. It’s a life changer. Don’t fear the heat!”
