| Bikram Yoga
So I started doing Bikram yoga a couple weeks ago and I sort of feel like it is the perfect compliment to recovery. It is the same 26 postures everytime in the same order, the same timing etc. So basically you go in and can watch yourself improve. What is interesting though is that you don't necessarily improve linearly and that so much of it is not about reaching a goal but about doing the best you can do at the moment. It is really about being at the level you are at at the moment and being ok with that which I think is what I need to learn to apply to every aspect of my life. That being said it doesn't mean there is not a challenge there or room for improvement. Obviously I think you can take this philosophy and apply it to any exercise program, it is just that in this one it is sort of forced on you in the rhetoric of the class and the format itself. And it is quite the workout.
