“We put the yo in the yoga.”

– Leo Eisenstein, Bikram Philadelphia instructor

 

What precautions should I take?

Please notify the instructor of any pre-existing medical conditions or injuries you may have before class begins.

In the beginning, it is completely normal to feel dizzy or nauseous during class. This is usually just a symptom of detoxification. The body detoxes through the skin, the breath, and the excretory system.  You will literally purge the body of toxins through all these systems. Take it easy. Breathe more and try less. It is your job to listen to your body on any given day. You do not have to be good at this yoga! Through frequency of practice, you will improve your strength, stamina, and flexibility.  Never be embarrassed about your level of practice.
