 My Bikram Success Story by Alejandro Quinteiro
I was introduced to Bikram Yoga in December 2009. In the very first session I overexerted myself and I heard and felt my lower back crack several times while in the triangle pose. It hurt but not anymore than all the previous times I had injured and re-injured my lower back. In fact, I'll never forget the sensation I felt as I drove home after that first class - my lower back felt warm! It felt warm and it had never ever felt warm before! From that day on, I was hooked.
Before my first class, I was living with pain but in complete and utter denial about it. I was not aware of my condition beyond the fact that well, frankly folks, I was a miserable piece of 'you know what' but you couldn't tell me that because I would seriously hurt you, if you did. I was miserable and mean and life truly sucked for me. I had good consultants and the best doctors (albeit the wrong specialty) and I spent thousands of dollars trying to get myself fixed. Nothing seemed to work because I did not even know what I was wrong. Since I was not aware of my body, I was going to the wrong specialist, of course. A very good chiropractor correctly recommended stretching exercises and shoe inserts because I was extremely tight and my gait (meaning my skeletal structure) was all of out whack. I got the inserts and I tried the exercises at home, but as soon as it started to hurt again, well naturally, I backed off. Read more about Alejandro....
Alejandro is currently contemplating going to Bikram Yoga Teacher Training.

Bikram in Seattle
Lots of you came out to see Bikram in Bellevue in September. As always, Bikram said lots of great things, among them, "Look for perfection in yourself. That's what the mirrors are for!"
Bikram, the man, is as inspiring as he is controversial. Among the things he reminded all of us during his visit was the importance of Savasana, cultivating a generous spirit, and trying your best.
