Arthritis
More than 40 million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis, which is defined as pain and limited motion in the joints. A full third of people in their mid 60's and older have this ailment in just one place: the KNEE. Most Western doctors blame calcium deposits (sic: also called Bone Spurs). But how can this be, since calcium is soluble within the human body and so takes on a liquid form? Biochemists tell us that the human body produces an excess of acids; one of them Oxalic Acid, another liquid. But when Oxalic Acid is combined with excess Calcium they form Calcium Oxalate, a solid. This Calcium Oxalate resembles little fish eggs, or caviar, except these fish eggs have sharp edges that traumatize any soft tissue they contact. These deposits find their home on the tissue they most resemble: bone. The bone will only accept these deposits at the joints.
I have personally witnessed the radical recovery of thousands of people who were diagnosed as suffering from arthritis in all of its guises. I don't know off a single student who's gotten worse. You don't have to accept this affliction as the unavoidable consequence of growing older.
-Excerpt, "Bikram Yoga" by Bikram Choudhury, Harper Collins, 2007
In BIKRAM YOGA, we honor the ancient teachings and methodology of traditional Hatha Yoga Practice. Combined with an understanding of Physiology in its most Dharmic or natural level, we can clearly see how Bikram Yoga affects the body, mind, and spirit.
By practicing BIKRAM YOGA regularly (3-4 times a week), slowly restore all joints, including the KNEES to their natural range of motion, you will flush impurities out of the joint areas to prevent calcium Oxalate deposits from forming and you will keep the body on this healing path. |

Testimonial from a BYP family member
How has Bikram Yoga Changed Your Life?
Linda Condron
My name is Linda Condron and I would like to take this opportunity to talk about what Bikram yoga has done for me. My first experience with Bikram yoga was in 2001, at that time I thought it was a great workout and took a few more classes. I had a job I enjoyed and plenty of friends to help me enjoy a social life and a great support system even though I was living thousands of miles away from my family, but being young I got distracted and forgot about yoga. So life went on with it's ups and downs but then it seems I started getting more than my fair share of life's downs, at least in my opinion. My job with its long hours was starting to take its toll, my friends were moving out of state and therefore I was loosing my social life and more importantly my support network. Although I was in a relationship it was not a healthy one, that relationship became and even unhealthier marriage. I felt very unhealthy gaining 30lbs, I had back pain and migraine headaches. Then came the worst battle of all the "emotional challenges". I had lost my confidence, my trust in myself, I was lonely and had no self worth and therefore slipped neatly into the ugly world of depression. I eventually got out of the unhealthy marriage, but did not feel the better for it and my depression worsened. I dragged myself to the doctor where naturally medication was prescribed. It was the worst thing ever, after all I am positive that lying on the floor in a fetal position crying is not the desired effect of anti depressants, so I promptly quit the medication and suffered quietly and alone.
Finally the day came when I realized that if I wanted things to change I would have to get up and take an active roll in my own life. With this glimmer of self realization I marched myself off to the gym where I proceeded to work my butt off 3 hours a day, five days a week. In about four months I had lost 20lbs. Although thats what the scales said I couldn't see it, my self image was still so blurred. Even though I was surrounded by so many people I found the competitive world of the gym a very lonely place.
One day whilst talking to a friend I hadn't seen in many years, I was asked if I was still taking Bikram yoga classes, I of course said no. But that was it the idea seed had been planted. Promptly after that conversation I went online found the nearest Bikram studio and signed up for class. So dressed in my short, shorts and sports bra I quietly crept into the back row of class, five minutes in I remember thinking " Oh my God, I am going to die!". Well obviously I didn't die and went back again (five times that first week). I had good days and days were I really struggled but soon I began to get really excited to get to class.
Gradually I started to see some improvement not just in my postures but in my confidence. I was out of that back row and working my way forwards towards the front mirror. Looking in that mirror I like what I saw not only physically but also mentally. I was no longer going to the gym and in Bikram class I had lost those extra 10lbs that had been clinging on. I was sleeping better and could get out of bed without feeling my back would break. My migraine headaches seemed to be a thing of the past. I found myself making smarter decisions in what I ate, my skin was clearer and I felt bright, happier and calmer. I was not back to the old me prior to the depression but was now and even better more improved me. I no longer sweat the small stuff (all sweat now reserved for class) for example I realized that if an expensive item broke its no big deal (I would have lost my mind before) it brought no love, happiness or peace with it so therefore it could not take any of these important things away when its gone.
For all of these personal achievements Bikram yoga has played a major role. I also believe that because of what I have accomplished with the help of Bikram yoga I have found love because I now love myself and am thankful for that. The Bikram yoga community is such a warm supportive group with no expectations of each other, and the only competitive spirit in the room is the one you have with yourself. With this support I am no longer feeling the loneliness that I once did and am once again finding peace in solitude.
I have decided to become a Bikram yoga teacher because of all the benefits I have received from my practice. I would like to assist other people achieve their personal quests be it physical, mental or spiritual. I would be honored to be a part of that phase of someone's life.
This is my personal story and I was wondering if I should really put it all in print for everyone to read. I decided to do it because I am sure there are many people out there that can relate to some if not all of my struggles and I would like them to know there is hope and people here willing to help. So with that being said i am excited to start this new chapter of my life. Thank you to all who have assisted me in getting here. Bring on the HEAT!!! :) |
