 Testimonial from a BYP family member
Beth Gorin
 My friend Susie first introduced me to the peacefulness of yoga. But it wasn't until May 2008, when Tina Johnson brought me to Bikram Yoga @ the Palisades, that yoga became an integral part of my life. There's something very special and addicting about practicing Bikram Yoga. Within two months of sweating the toxins out of my body (and gremlins from my psyche) through Bikram classes, I WAS HOOKED! For the past 10 months I have been practicing a minimum of 4-5 days a week. I have never been this consistent with a workout routine.
My friends call me a "Bikram Yoga Junkie," and they are right! I am SO addicted. Bikram Yoga is the only place I can quiet my mind. Bikram Yoga has changed my life tremendously both physically and emotionally. It has helped with my stress level and PMS, my digestion and immune system have improved dramatically, I am sleeping better, hardly get migraines, and so much more.
Physically, I have lost inches, am more toned and dropped almost 3 dress sizes.
I always participate in the studio's one month challenges during which you have to commit to taking 16, 20 or 30 classes over a month period. So far I've successfully completed two 20 day routines. My goal is to make it through 30 consecutive days.
Every day I look forward to my Bikram Yoga class. Even though you always do the same 26 postures, every Bikram class is different, challenging you to push further! I intend to keep practicing to continue improving my postures. |

Posture #3 Awkward Pose Utkatasana
 Awkward Pose is a powerful strengthening posture, and when done with Deep Breathing, Half Moon and Hands to Feet, it also concludes a sort of warm-up section in which you generate internal heat and loosen the muscles.
In the first two parts of this posture, your knees will try to move closer to each other. Remember to keep 6 inches apart. The hands also have a way of floating upward as you sink downward, so keep them in check as well. To do this properly, your arms must be parallel with the floor. Keep them tight, elbows locked, five fingers together. Another key: Keep the stomach sucked in and tight.
Awkwad Pose will tone and shape your legs like nobody's business. And quickly: The definition and strength you gain here are among yoga's fastest results. This posture is such a great warm up in part because it stimulates circulation, sending blood roaring to your lower extremities. If you suffer from chronically cold feet, that will be over. It also helps relieve rheumatism and arthritis in the legs, and helps to cure slipped discs and other problems in the lower spine. Awkwad Pose also promotes laser-beam concetration.
