This account of a 30 day practice is inspiring. It showcases how much a body can change after a consistent yoga practice. One thing that stood out in the article, which I'm sure many of us can relate to was:
"I'm surprised I like Bikram yoga.
5 or 6 years ago, I tried it out and didn’t like that every class features the same sequence of poses or that certain postures were not included.
I remember thinking it was a bit dangerous for me to be stretching so aggressively and I was worried I’d injure myself... What a difference 6 years makes! Bikram is the same, but now I’m loving it.
I can see that the sequence of postures “unlocks” the body one part at a time (like peeling an onion).
I love the HEAT."

I've had several friends who have tried it once, maybe twice and then due mainly to the heat, they have decided never to go back, or they found it too hard. However I don't think many of us are great at anything the first few times we try it, everything in life usually takes time and experience before we get good at it and yoga is no exception. Taking it a day at a time, seeing the body change one bit at a time.
If you take your first class and you're unsure of taking another, have a little patience, read Luca's blog and give it another try. It's amazing to see the changes in Lucas's body throughout the 30 days and he documents not only the physical changes, but also the mental and emotional changes he goes through and experiences, the ups as well as the downs. Bikram always says "Give me 30 days and I will change your body. Give me 60 days and I will change your life."
