    Default Bikram / hot yoga!!

    I am a retired dancer, but sometimes I feel like my back is still paying for all those years of money making in 7 inch heels.

    So I started doing Bikram yoga this year. I wish I knew about it while I was dancing. I feel like I might have staved off some of the aches and pains that contributed to my retirement, and followed me thereafter.

    Hindsight is 20/20 so I just wanted to share the insight with you gals.

    I LOVE Bikram yoga.
    Unfortunately I can't afford to go anymore, but it really is an amazing work out in more ways than one.

    I enjoyed when I did work out. Now I dont even remember the poses and probably have to start all over again.

    I want to get into contortion and pushing my flexibility limits more (I'm already pretty flexible), since it will help me out with advanced pole moves. I just dont want to do any damage to my back (I did some soft tissue damage along my spine once when I pushed myself too far - so fuckin scary - I never want to feel so vulnerable again).

    Did you go to specific classes or have a tutor in contortion?

    I love Bikram yoga too. I have never been so flexible in my hamstrings or felt so good as after I go!

    Scarlett Honey: I took contortion classes for a while at a circus school. It was fun and scary. A good instructor will diagnose your faults, spot you, and find ways to (safely) put you in more pain than you thought imaginable ... lol! Google and see if there is anything in your area! I know Bobbi's also offers stretching classes to help you get in your splits (I see you are in Australia).
