Only if someone farts. The studio where I practice is cleaned on a strict routine basis, so it doesn't smell bad!

You did an excellent job on stage at the OCT 4th seminar! Miss you at the BYML studio.

Your body regulates the blood pressure so don't worry if your getting naeseated or dizzy it's normal, specially the first couple of session... it all good and a sign that your body is healing and restoring :)

uomofamoso you might suffer from too low or high blood pressure! When you get dizzy while forward bent you have too high blood pressure- getting dizzy while backward bend you have too low blood pressure...make sure you are hydrated enough before class so your not too thirsty...Bikram Yoga is amazing! Love it!

I so hope that is true. I'm never going to learn all I must learn in one life. Could you please explain how Bhakti yoga is beyond the gunas? In Hatha yoga we are taught the fruit of our actions do not belong to us. Our efforts are to be given up to the lord. I don't practice to have a pleasing physique. When I practice, I am taking notes to alleviate the suffering of my students (by and large physical ailments). Is this some of the quality of Bhakti Yoga ?

as for your q abt failing. there are clear answers to all these in the BG. lord says those who practice and fail need not despair. if u dont achieve it this cycle, then you start off from the point where you left in next cycle. even to ask whoami needs lord's grace after many many karmic cycles. surrender completely and see the awe results.

you are right. all i am saying is bikram yoga or hatha yoga is good only for the body. it will give you a well maintained disease free body. but that's it. as u know yoga is not about body. there are 4 dif ways to the same destination - action or karma, knowledge or jnana, devotion or bhakti and mystic or hatha or raja yoga. only bhakti yoga is beyond the 3 gunas and it the easiest path mainly prescribed for this age of hypocrisy and quarrels.

I look around and I see good and bad. Those who are learning lessons, working off bad karma and serving the world. I also see some failing miserably. How best to help them? Patanjali gave us yoga. Yes I agree Bikram is a deush bag. Maybe it puts some on the path.

yes the 9 gated city was given for realizing the super soul. but on the contrary what do you see around? humans abusing their bodies for sense gratifications worse than animals.
