I have gained a lot of weight over time and I realized it is time to start to bring it back down some.  So I looked up yoga (was interested in something that wouldn't agitate my patella femoral syndrome) and this is the closest one to me (and I trusted yelpers!).  This studio seems to be exactly what I needed.\n\nI have been experimenting with at-home workouts but I just couldn't get myself to stay on them for very long at a time to make it worth it.\n\nI started a week ($20) and was tired and sore and I kept coming back to \"get my money's worth\" and by the end of the week, I was actually thinking, my sinus feels a little better, I'm going to keep going to see how I feel.  I also enjoyed the teacher calling my name out to tell me I'm doing something wrong (I enjoy it more when they tell me \"it's good\" though) and feel like it's the attention I need to improve myself.\n\nI am now 2 and a half weeks and am actively trying to average 5 days/week (13 classes out of 17 days so far).  I am completely amazed with how my body has changed so far.  I am way more flexible than I have been in a long time.  I don't see any other big changes yet but I go just for that fraction of a bit better each time I go back to class and feel happy about it.\n\nDo note, Bikram Yoga is hot and humid and I seem to always question myself in the middle why I keep coming back.  \nPersonally, when I am out though, I am glad I went (except for that one time I ate a combo meal at Chino Bandido's [Jade red in a Quesadilla is awesome!] before hand).
