As a Bikram Yoga Teacher I get this question a lot: Will Bikram yoga help me lose weight? Recently I found this on the Mayo Clinic website. What I think is great is that it clearly states where/how our fat gets released from our bodies-- through sweat (yeah Bikram heated room) and carbon dioxide air exhaled from our lungs: that's what we start with: Pranayama breathing....so breath and sweat (

Recently it was the holidays and I got away from my yoga practice. I moved cross-country -- I started two new days jobs, I moved back into my house -- so many many things: changes-- the new, the old it all collided around the holidays, until it was almost two weeks and I hadn't practiced regularly. If it's possible to feel your own circulation diminish I felt it. Blood, life, went into a

Two days ago, I took Teri Almquist's 9am yoga class. She is the studio owner in Haverhill, Ma. I have taught in many yoga studios on the two coasts of the continental U.S.A, and Teri's studio is top of the line. Teri is a unique Bikram Teacher: she is hilarious -- I think she was a stand-up comic in a former life (actually she was a sign language interpreter!). But what is really great about

I just started a 30 day yoga challenge. That means I will practice everyday without taking a day off in between. It was a combo of a friend starting a charity yoga challenge and my need to get myself more focused as I transition from living the graduate lifestyle and get back to Los Angeles and my life there. There are so many unknowns --- how will things turn out? Will I get the place, the

I was writing a post and got side tracked in research -- yep, I actually look things up to write this blog -- it's not just coming off the top of my head -- until NOW. Basically writing to ask you (dear reader -- Juliana, or Mindy...if you get any text showing up in the post below. It is an article from Yoga Journal on Bikram.

Okay, I have my bookmarks in several yoga and related-topic books...for some reason or another I have abandoned them. One went missing -- Deepak Chopra's "Creating Health." I was almost done (I was on chapter eight) With each chapter I kept telling myself, "Okay, NOW, he's 'gonna get to his point." Okay, Okay, I'm waiting for the chapter where he talks up the virtues of being vegan or

When I first heard, "An empty barn is better than a barn full of naughty cows," I had this picture of cows just jumping around being naughty -- not behaving like cows are supposed to --not paying attention, just goofing off:clearly, I had no idea what naughty meant in this context. I heard this expression straight from Bikram, and I went around with this image of these silly cows behaving

First I have to say that I do not hold a special certification for teaching kids. I am, however, a certified Yoga teacher, and I was introduced to yoga when I was in middle school, at the age of 13.Since I loved yoga as a kid, I think my nephews and nieces really connected with me on that level. I remember how silly, fun, strange, different, and yet at the same time familiar and natural yoga
