Do you need to tone up before your wedding? I know I do, so I turned to Bikram yoga.Bikram yoga is a set series of 26 yoga poses, each performed twice in a single 90 minute class. The room is heated to to 105°F with a humidity of 40%, Working out in that kind of heat might seem crazy but it creates deeper stretching, injury prevention, stress and tension relief (which every bride needs)!
I had only done yoga a few times before trying Bikram and I was able to understand all of the poses. The teachers really look out for the new students and guide you through the class. The great thing is after the first class you will know all of the poses and which one comes after the last, because all 26 poses are done in the same order each class. Before the class you will want to drink a lot of water and bring two bottles with you. You will also need a yoga mat, full size towel and another small towel to wipe your face and hands. You do not want to wear any make up because you will sweat and at the end of class look like you just jumped out of a pool.
I have been doing Bikram for three weeks now, three times a week and people can already tell a difference. I can see a difference in my arms, waist and energy level. My fiancee also attends the classes with me and he loves it! Bikram is great to practice together because you are getting healthy together and starting a healthy life for the future.
I would recommend starting your practice at the Bikram Yoga Institute on the North East Corner of Indian School & Miller in Scottsdale, bikramyogainstitute.com. Director Andrea Griego and all of the teachers are so nice, and make you feel right at home. They also know so much about Bikram and if you have any questions they are there to help. After my first two classes I had a bad headache and teacher Karin told me to drink something like Smart Water because I needed more electrolytes and I have not had a headache since.
Bikram Yoga Institute on the North East Corner of Indian School & Miller in Scottsdale also offers first time students 30 days for $30.00 which is an amazing deal, I look forward to seeing you there!!!
