Dish-Houston

When you first lay eyes upon Bikran Choudhury, Yogi Guru is not the first thing that comes to mind. He's flashy to say the least. When we met he was wearing a white satin double breasted suit, a hat with his hair in a pony-tail and a watch that was so chocked full of diamonds he could not see the hads to tell anyone what time it was. None of this has taken away his passion for fixing the human body like a master mechanic. He always says

 “If you follow my instruction and do my yoga postures Sequence to the best of your ability, you will live a better, healthier and more peaceful life.”

Therefore after being inspired by his lecture at Rice University I decided to take up the Bikram Challenge which is taking the class every day for 60 days. Both Choudhury and Mike Winter, the man who brought Bikram Yoga to Texas in the 90's. Mike was a runner and practiced yoga for 13 years when Bikram came into his life. Bikram is very particular about who he lets teach the practice he invented even saying it doesn't matter if you can do all of the positions perfectly, if you don't have a good heart he won't work with you.

The claims are that if you do Bikram Hot Yoga for 60 days then your depression, blood pressure, insomnia, back and so many other health problems will be alleviated.

DISH will keep a weekly record and touch base with teacher/studio owner Mike Winters over the next 60 days to report on how this goes. We will start on Monday November 1st. Issues DISH is looking to deal with :back and hip problems, some depression, sleep issues and FLAB! all over and in general FLAB!

Keep in mind, All Bikram Yoga is Hot Yoga but not all hot yoga is Bikram Yoga so make sure you go to a BIKRAM studio. CLICK HERE for Houston Studios.
