	I would probably recommend doing some regular hatha-vinyasa yoga to open up your body a bit more before diving into bikrim, otherwise it might be more than a bit rough on you. If you do do it, though, just be sure to rest when your body tells you to; last thing you want to do is throw up in the middle of class from over-extending yourself! (Reply to this)

	I'd recommend doing a non-hot yoga class first, Laughing Lotus is WONDERFUL and I've heard good things about Yoga to the People on St. Marks. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Awesome, then you're just out of practice (as I am). I would still recommend easing yourself into because it's easy to injury yourself in Bikram because the heat makes you think you're more bendy then you really are :). Good luck! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	i go to bikram union square .... can say nothing but good things of that studio. if you go make sure to get a class with otto (the owner) ... though becca, corinne or noa I like as well. there are first-timers in class all the time. don't feel intimidated. (Reply to this)
