Avatar f tn I use to practise bikram yoga 5-6 times a week. When we found out I was pg, my doc said it was too hot and I was instructed to stop until 2nd trimester. I lost the baby and have always wondered if the yoga played a part in the mc. Since the mc, I have cut way back. But it's been a year and we still haven't gotten pg. We want a baby but how long do I put my life on hold... I went to yoga 4 times a week during the first two weeks of this cycle.
Avatar n tn Hello, I would very much like to know if doing Bikram Yoga is good or bad for your skin. Basically, it is quite strenuous yoga done for 1 and a half hours, in a room that is generally 40 degrees or 104 celsius. The arguments are that it is good for you because you have to drink so much water your skin becomes hydrated, and secondly because you are sweating for an hour and a half your skin sweats out all of the toxins creating hydrated, clear skin.
Avatar f tn Hi Moonflower, You have made the right call, in my humble opinion, about giving up Bikram yoga. I have been practicing yoga for almost 13 years and for the past few years, it was mostly a Bikram yoga practice. I just fell in love with the heat and that rush of adrenaline after class. I am 38 years old and I was practicing Bikram when I got pregnant this February. I lost the baby at 10 weeks in April.
368461 tn?1291515587 I breast fed exclusively so I was in a size 6 within months. Then, when he was 6 months old, I started Bikram Yoga and the rest of my weight just melted off- I was back in a 2 within 2 months. For this pregnancy I have purchased a postpartum workout video specially designed for that in- between period before you can really strain. I would recommend doing something like that at first, until your body is fully healed.
Avatar f tn I have been doing 7 miles a day on the stair stepper, but I am having trouble losing the weight. I plan on going back to bikram yoga in another 2 months when the twins are on solids and I can leave them for 2 hours at a time. My goal is to be back in a size 4 by September. What are you ladies doing to drop the weight? How is it going?
451191 tn?1264432890 I wanted to pass along this link to everyone. I have been practicing Bikram Yoga for 7 years and have found it's benefits to be many. So much so, that I have decided to get certified to teach and hopefully open my own studio someday. My own experience has been this: since my TT in April and RAI in May I have not gained ONE single ounce, have maintained a consistent energy level and my TSH levels always fall within normal ranges. http://www. yogapassion. com/testimonials/12.
284738 tn?1283106819 Anyway I did breast feed afterwards (for 18 months) and I started doing Bikram Yoga. It is a very intense form of yoga practiced in a 105 degree room for 90 minutes. I LOVE IT! I have been going for 5 years now... Firstly you lose anywhere between 300 and 500 calories a day from nursing and between 500 and 800 calories from Bikram so I lost all the weight and then some in 6 months. Before I knew it I was back in a size two, no stretch marks, no saggy skin- bikini ready.

368461 tn?1291515587 Once I get the go ahead from my midwife I will be going back to Bikram Yoga... and I cannot wait for that day- I feel the need to sweat!
Avatar n tn I had a thyroid lobectomy 20 days ago. Can I start practicing Yoga? What yoga poses shouldn't i do after thyroid surgery ?
Business woman2 Talk to your doctor about trying yoga. There are yoga routines for nearly every level of ability, all the way from losing big time, to chair yoga for seniors. Not sure if you're a senior, but maybe chair yoga would be a place to start. That said, since you can't get a lot of exercise, you will have to limit calories in order to lose weight.
Avatar f tn Bikram is somewhat known for causing either weight gain or lack of loss. It builds a lot of muscle, particularly in your core and legs (all those balance poses). If you feel slimmer in your clothes you are losing fat and gaining muscle. So don't worry! Do you do your yoga in the morning? If so, maybe your headaches are from leftover dehydration. I would make sure you are well hydrated and maybe try a sports drink for electrolye replacement. Good luck!
Avatar f tn ve also tried yoga (hatha, bikram), pilates, various types of bootcamp and recently the bar method - all of which I enjoy. If there's weightloss, I can usually see it in my face and upper body, however my problem areas are my abdomen, obliques and thighs. With most exercise regimens I've tried, I've noticed that I don't make much progress in my problem areas. In fact, my pants fit tighter - especially around the thighs, probably due to muscle gain.
Avatar f tn The fight over who owns yoga got a lot of attention a few years back when Bikram Choudhury said a series of yoga positions done in a room heated to over 100 degrees was his intellectual property. Legal fights ensued. http://www.npr.

3148829 tn?1343188950 Sure there is........ there are a number of CD's/DVD's you can get for all types of exercises. Yoga for Weight Loss is a really good one, as are most yoga dvd's. If you have stairs in your home, stair climbing is good, jump rope is good; ever tried a whoola hoop? Like to dance?
Avatar f tn Thank you so much Dr SanjivaniWanjari I take good care of myslef thru healthy clean eatging and exercise , Bikram Yoga is my exercise of choice now. No jumping and it is so rewarding to know I am detoxifying as I lose weight. I have had an exam with my last pap a couple of weeks ago and my Dr said Ihave no prolapse. I do have the mesh sling so I thought that i had failed to do it's job but I think that aging and gravity is winning this battle.
Avatar f tn I just started doing the weight loss thing and I've cut out pop,candy,fried foods and stuff like that for about a week. I have issues some times walking and also can't get to the gym what can I do at home that will help me?
Avatar n tn a few weeks ago, I had suffered a lower back injury at Bikram (Hot) Yoga. Yoga which is performed in a room at 105 farenheit for 90 minutes. Last night, I was unable to lye on my back and witnessed excruciating pain in left thigh above the knee. When I raise my leg from lying down, the pain is unbearable. I practice this yoga 3 times a week for the past 14 years. I stayed away from the practice for 10 days and the pain appeared to have disappeared. Well not entirely.
Avatar n tn No bread or anything with noodles or salt. Also, try some yoga! You loose a lot of weight actually and its so much better than working out.
435139 tn?1255460391 Before I got pregnant I had been doing Bikram Yoga daily- I so am normally used to an intense daily workout (I have been going for 5 years). Because of the high heat (110 degrees for 90 minutes) I stopped when we found out. Then I started jogging on the treadmill for an hour a day, but once I hit my third trimester I started getting really strong contractions while I was jogging.
Avatar m tn Now many of you thought how controlling your mind can help you in weight losing. Yoga for weight loss, It is a sufficient for everyone.
213398 tn?1202670474 thank you i will tell him about this and just email him this paragraph. i tried bikram a few times do you think this is better than bikram yoga??
Avatar f tn Is that 53 kg? If so, you're about right for your height. Maybe all you need to do is tone your muscles. You might look into trying to fit in some yoga, 3-4 times/week. Yoga is excellent for toning and strengthening muscles. It stretches your muscles and leaves you with a "long and lean" feeling, because you tend to have better posture. There are some excellent yoga videos on YouTube; check them out and see if you might be able to get interested.
Avatar f tn I am trying to lose weightas well. I eat healthy and exercise daily doing yoga. Yoga easiest for me because I am a 22-24. I am happy to see that it is doable. I'm tying to lose 30 lbs by December 31. If I fall short, no biggie. I just keep going. I'm thankful for the 10 I've already lost!!!
