Acknowledge your boundaries, but expect them to change
As we age, our muscles tend to get stiffer, creating more pressure on our joints. By regular stretching we prevent this gradual deterioration. That is why yoga has a rejuvenating effect. Through regular Bikram Yoga practice we liberate vast amounts of energy, which we can use in our daily lives to feel more alive and fulfilled. We thus look and feel younger.
This routine is dynamic and exhilarating. The room is hot to allow a deeper stretch without risk of injury. The series works equally well for the beginner or advanced student. Bikram says, "Never too late, never too old, never too bad or too sick to do this yoga and start from scratch again."
Some days you won't feel like coming at all. These are the days that yoga will benefit you the most.
