““I tried Bikram Yoga because I was experiencing pain in my hips and knees. I have been a competitive athlete most of my life and had found myself at a stage where I was experiencing pain simply in my day-to-day living. The results of practicing yoga 3x/week have surpassed my expectations. Not only has my joint pain disappeared, I have benefited in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Most notably, the lengthening of my torso and strengthening of my core has made a difference in my daily living. I’ve been practicing yoga for a year and a half and can’t imagine life without it!” ”
