I practice at home, with the Bikram CD. Been doing so for about a month now...6 days a week. Last night it struck me one of his phrases "yoga is a gas station...you do yoga you never get tired" or similar words.
Funny that when he says this I'm lying on my back exhausted (in the middle of yoga). But on reflection its true...
I surf. In fact, that is why I do yoga. Used to be I surfed 2-3 times a day, every day...that was in my 20's. In my 30's it was every day...no problem.
Now mid 40's surfing is taking its tolll...or has been. I found if I do not go out for a week, then paddle out on a big day, I would be sore for a week.
Since Bikram, I can now surf whenever...no worries. went out yesterday, first time in a month...big day, great day....not sore at all (well, a bit last night during 1/2 moon). Then again today, big day...not sore. So yes, I can attest, yoga (at least Bikram style) is a gas station.
