Common Questions and Answers about Why bikram yoga is not good

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 I have read that Bikram Yoga is not a good option for women who are TTC..same goes for very strenous exercises.. for women who are ttc, any gentler forms of Yoga and exercise (for example - brisk walking or running) are recommended hope this helps!! good luck to you!
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.
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 ?
368461 tn?1291515587 The good news is we can start the upper body stuff pretty much immediately. Not to mention the fact that we will all get buff arms from carrying around diaper bags and car seats with babies in them! :) I am really hoping that I can melt some of this extra padding I grew on my legs! I don't want to buy all new clothes...I was actually wanting to lose a few pounds before I found out I was pregnant!
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.
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 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?
Avatar f tn "Hot Yoga" is known as Bikram Yoga which is yoga done in a room with the temperature of 100 degrees or maybe a tad more. Since my body does not do well at all in any type of heat this form of yoga is totally out for me. I do have a good friend who has done Bikram for years and loves it. Good Luck and Congratulations!
362249 tn?1441315018 He said I was spread too thin and needed to make some changes b4 I could even consider ttc. This included, yoga (i practice bikram yoga), eating more organic foods, soy milk, losing weight to gain more energy, etc...I am happy to say that he was right. I am a much healthier and happier person. Plus, I have lost 18 lbs since last year so I am ecstatic.
435139 tn?1255460391 ve just been kind of lazy...but I know exercise is good for me and the baby so I want to get back into a routine!
Avatar n tn the rash appeared 12 hours after a session of bikram yoga (was very hot in that class room) regardless i have convinced myself i have HIV.
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 f tn But trust in your body, there is no thinking required in labor, your body truly does all the work. I have done bikram yoga in the past and I swear the meditation techniques I learned from yoga majorly helped me through labor.
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 n tn The only time I feel good is when I wake up from sleeping. But once I get up and walk around a little, I start to get dizzy again. Someone please help me with what I can do. I live a very aweful life the way I feel. I am only 35 years old male. Thank you so much for your help.
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 Hi,I have calculated your body mass index which comes out to be 24.4.this is in normal range which is 20-24.9.you should not be worrying much about this. Whatever you are doing like exercises and good balanced diet is all what recommended. Keep yourself cheerful and continue your efforts to get good results. All the best.
Avatar f tn Since we're on the subject of exercising, is everyone really trying to monitor their heart rate while exercising (keep it under 140?) I've read mixed stuff on the importance of sticking to this particular number. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It's all so confusing!
Avatar n tn Most people with asthma have this, but many without asthma suffer from this as well. The good news is, that if this is the problem, it is easy to "fix". Typically, this is treated by inhaling 2 puffs of albuterol 15 to 20 minutes before exercise. Some of the brand names in the USA are Pro Air, Ventolin, and Proventil. If you are outside the U.S. then Google "albuterol" to see what names it goes by. This usually requires a prescription but not in all countries.
10233378 tn?1427161882 Just no jumping or high intensity training. Of course yoga is great too. I love yoga.
1654035 tn?1332425178 I have to wear somewhat nice stuff for work, so unfortunatly I had to buy a good amount of maternity stuff. Problem is so much of it is getting tighter and not as comfortable as it was 12 weeks ago. As soon as I get home its PJ bottoms and a t-shirt for sure!!
