Who Am I to Define Bikram Yoga?

It doesn’t belong to me. It doesn’t belong to Bikram. It is for each practitioner to discover and define for themselves. But the teacher has to try to give a sense of it to those who havn’t experienced it, especially when you hear of it being limited to a form of exercise or a script.  Also, BY is NOT exclusive. Maybe it is one or all of the following to you. More or less. 🙂

BY is HOT BY is Hatha Yoga BY is dynamic BY is accessible BY is community BY is asana BY is wellness BY is meditation BY is thighs, tums, bums BY is VERY HOT BY is barefoot BY is fitness BY is discipline BY is core stability BY is breath synchronized movement BY is sweaty BY is practice BY is cleansing BY is a lifestyle BY is a hobby BY is time out BY is science BY is challenging BY is “is it hotter in here than usual or is it just me” BY is ancient wisdom BY is internal massage BY is concentration BY is therapeutic BY is a journey BY is a habit BY is movement BY is powerful BY is truth BY is ‘no water before Eagle’ 🙂 BY is opportunity BY is breath control BY is normal breathing BY is rehabilitation BY is a generic Yogic prescription BY is enabling BY is full on BY is stillness BY is exciting BY is transformation BY is endless possibilities BY is physicality BY is WOW!
