Many of the poses called on my physical strength to hold, and I wasn't strong enough to hold a few of the poses, just like in other yoga classes when I can't do headstands. <BR/><BR/>The first time you do the pose you hold for 60 seconds, the second time for 30. <BR/><BR/>As far as strength training versus bikram to develop muscle, I am still trying to figure this out. <BR/>I think it will help define muscle, and create nice long muscle, but I am not sure if it is as effective as strength training. Just looking at the students in the yoga classes I take, there is a huge range from lean and defined, to super cut, to not very toned, so it's hard to tell!<BR/><BR/> This is probably a good question for Jenna.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265664103349060472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355946412316593381.post-58929716492388705802008-03-04T06:17:00.000-11:002008-03-04T06:17:00.000-11:00Thanks for sharing!

I am trying to decide whether yoga is enough or if I need weight training. Do you think it would be enough (I know you have limited experience with yoga).<BR/><BR/>Last, do they hold poses a long time in bikram?

I'm scared to try it myself - not because of the class, but because I don't have a yoga mat anymore and am scared of going to a new studio, etc. Your report made me bolder to go to a new place! Thanks!<BR/><BR/>KathAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
