I attended a Bikram class in [another city] on Friday morning. I may be biased, but I'm still right about BYD being a great studio. After class, the instructor complimented me for my "strong practice, with lots of discipline and focus". A teacher in NYC made similar comments last year. I think that has less to do with me and more to do with the expectations and friendly reminders from you all. At this studio, there was so much bending and wiping and drinking between every single posture. The teacher even gave permission to leave the room if necessary, although no one did. They were even drinking sports drinks... do I sound like a Bikram snob? LOL!

The other piece that was really missed was the way that all of you explain the anatomy, physiology, origin, and rationale of the various postures, in addition to linking them to real life. That's so helpful in class and throughout my day. This class wasn't bad. I actually had a really good practice. I'm just saying this to thank you for running a great studio with fabulous teachers...

Another studio's praise for BYD

I attended a studio in Baltimore recently and at the end of my week, the owner and instructors said that it was a pleasure to have me because I was trying my practice the right way. "You are getting very good instruction." was the way they put it. Thanks to all the different instructors who each help me learn a different aspect of postures and practice. Most of the time I've heard it before, but it never stuck. Keep repeating because for one of us, one day, some phrase or suggestion will resonant and we will continue our growth and understanding.
