I've never done Bikram's. I know they use a room heated to around 90
deg to make you sweat while doing a sequence of around 20 postures.
I've done other forms before settling with Ashtanga yoga. It's one of

i'd second that, even as one who doesn't practice yoga regularly and
is still a novice. for me yoga and cycling dovetail remarkably well

Having never done Bikram (but having practiced various styles of yoga
since 1996 including Ashtanga, Iyengar, Kripalu, and Anusara, and now
teaching my own mixture for the past year and a half, I'd say try
Bikram, but try some other styles as well. I can see Bikram being good
if you are VERY inflex
Thanks for all the advice about yoga, which has made me decide to try
it out. I'm not sure I want to start with Bikram's -- I didn't realize

classes.
I realize that Defined Fitness or Sports and Wellness classes may not

Thanks, Bill. I've heard good things about Bikram, and since they
offer "unlimited lessons for first month for $20" I may just take them
up on it. The benefit of the two gymns is that they are very close

Gernot: thanks for this information and comment which is very useful.

Even closer is the gymn across the street t
