It's been six months since I have been practising Bikram Hot Yoga. For those who are not familiar you may check out the below links.

In short it is a combination of Hatha and Raja yoga. Bikram's class consists of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises practiced in a room heated to 40 degrees Celsius. This entire sequence is completed in an hour and a half.
I must admit that this is one of the toughest things that I have ever done. Some days I love it and some days I hate it. There are times when I look forward to the class and there are days when I am just happy to skip. But the benefits have been focus, discipline, calm, stamina, youthful skin and the ability to maintain my weight.
Tomorrow they start a 30 day Bikram yoga challenge, i.e. 30 classes in 30 days. I cannot officially take up this challenge as I will be travelling during this month. But to make up for it, I have my own challenge - to attend the class for every single day that I am in town. And I am counting on you my friends to motivate and encourage me on.
