I've heard of this type of yoga and wonder, doesn't it bother you that high of heat? I get headaches from high artifical heat and feel drained. It sounds that for you, it wasn't draining at all and felt beneficial. There isn't any opportunity to do that here though. I wouldn't discount it until I tried but I don't easily sweat, in fact, I heat up quickly becuase I don't sweat out the heat.

I wonder how it affects people who don't sweat easily or have difficulties with adjusting body heat.

It sounds interging, so I'll be interested to read how others find it too.

Good on you. I have to modify the poses I do too, for weight reasons and past injury reasons. Keep us posted on how it goes. :)

I did something similar for while. heated yoga class for an hour and a half. It was great. bring a towel its soaked by the end. but you feel lighter and very relaxed.

I dont feel the arthritis in my shoulder any more.

i just saw these posts today. I started Bikram Yoga Octobe 7th and it has done wonders for me! I love it and yes the heat is sometimes oppressive, the benefits of the sweating are very much worth it. I too cannot do all the postures yet, have very limited flexibility in my shoulders, but I stay in class and continue to attempt every pose every time. Good luck!
