S2 Ep6: Bikram Yoga Standing Series | Traditional 90-minute Class | Whether you Can or you Can't Isn't even the Question!
Did you ever have the thought, "I can't do this one"? Or "I can do this one pretty well."? I have observed that it is a fairly common thought in our minds. Yet thinking about whether you "can" or "can't" do the yoga postures is not the correct framework of thought when it comes to hatha yoga. It is not the right question to be asking. Find out more about why in this less-than-an-hour Stand...

S3 Ep27: Bikram Yoga: Tending the Body Like a Garden or Even Like a Car
In this Bikram Yoga (traditional 90-minute, original hot yoga) class, we explore how a regular Bikram Yoga class is akin to the regular and loving tending of a garden. Or the regular and attentive maintenance of a car. *Of course* care and attention are required for a garden, right? And it is obvious that cars need upkeep, too, right? Why then, in our culture, are we surprised when a lack o...

S3 Ep25: Bikram Yoga: 1000 chances at Pure Effort, Persistence, and Stillness
What a blessing to get to try.  Over and over again.   What are we trying?  Simply to concentrate.  We get thousands of chances in every single Bikram Yoga class.   What a blessing to get to try again. We are also trying to simply hold still.   For a while, we fix and fidget and correct and refine.  And that at some point, we are ready for stillness.  Time stops.  And we are simply in the p...

S3 Ep26: Bikram Yoga: What is a "Modification" and How Does it Work?
Bikram Yoga long held a reputation for "no modifications". This is simply a misunderstanding plus a bit of ignorance. Every posture is ALWAYS modified!  We modify the depth in all cases, according to the breathing, the sensations in the body, and our understanding in each moment. Here the thing. We do not modify the technique or form of the posture, however, in 99.9% of cases. We almost neve...

In a bikram yoga class, we are asked to listen to every word from the teacher and to move with the words.  When we try this, we realize pretty quickly that the voice(s) in our heads can be even "louder" than the voice of the teacher! The amazing discipline of choosing (over and over again) to listen to the teacher's voice transports us instantaneously to the present moment! We also learn that...
