General

i started Bikram Yoga classes, July 2007. i must admit that the first month of three classes per week was really a challenge for me. First was the discipline of waking up earlier than usual, getting to my 8:30am class on time, not to mention focusing and concentrating on myself doing the postures right for 90 minutes. My body was struggling, going against each posture. I could feel the pain and soreness all over.

Undaunted by all this, I pushed myself to the limit, and on my second month, I attended four times a week. At this time, I noticed I could so some postures, and also noticed that I lost weight. Now on my fifth month, I feel more relaxed, more peaceful, more focused. I sleep earlier and wake up earlier too. At the start of the year, I gifted myself with a one
year unlimited yoga package, something I am most passionate about, and a way of life I truly espouse.

I thank my teachers at Bikram Yoga Manila for bearing with me all this time. Without their guidance and patience I would not be where I am.

First off -- people have super noticed how much weight i've lost. and how my posture seems a lot better. The primary and ONLY reason that got me into yoga in the first place is for weight loss. So that earns a check in my list of to do's.

But the most pleasant surprise are the things I got aside from weight loss.

1. I've made friends.

2. I feel so much better about myself (not just in the fact that I lost weight). Feel better in the sense that I have this sense of achievement that I cannot put my finger on what to call it exactly. Maybe sense of confidence in being able to do the poses and notice improvements along the way.

I started out bringing face towel to class and constantly wiping myself all throughout class. Then I got rid of that towel. I used to finish 1 liter of water during class. Then i got to reduce it meaning i have less "extra curricular" movements. I used to scratch and fidget then that got lessened to almost none on good days.

All of these in a span of 1 year. To call it something - - closest I can think of is -- I've become more disciplined.

3. I'm more patient. I still give in to a bit of road rage but I was worst before yoga came into my life.

4. I've found something I can see myself doing for a long time. I've never had any kind of exercise or sports that I was able to sustain longer than 6 months. I've enrolled in slimmers, fitness, etc. But I just could not get into the habit of it. Yoga - - I look for it now.

Anyways, this can go on and on. But point is - - I want to thank you for these things.
