"My spine has a 33-degree compensatory curve, which created unbearable pain in my lower back and neck... I've been attending Bikram Yoga 3 times a week, and I now never have pain in my spine or neck..." Not by a long shot am I genetically perfect. I inherited scoliosis or curvature of the spine. My spine has a 33-degree compensatory curve, which created unbearable pain in my lower back and neck. I used to ward off the pain by swimming and running. Running is a beautiful thing to do, yet, like many others I eventually had to stop running. My poor crooked body couldn't handle the impact. I then swam for pain relief and strength building. However, the chemicals were bothersome. I then tried Bikram Yoga. After the first session, like most people, I thought I would die. I stuck to it because I loved the way my skin felt and the intense light and heat, for me, was energizing. I started going to Bikram Yoga three times a week and have been attending for three years. I now never have pain in my spine or neck. I love the flexibility and buoyancy my body has.
My spine used to be so crooked that I couldn't lie on my back and have it straight. Now, not only does my spine feel ramrod straight and strong but also my entire body has an overall strength.
I am a huge fan of the White Rock Studio. Not a visit goes by that I do not leave feeling welcomed, happier then when I went in and enormously less stressed. The welcoming and positive atmosphere provides smile therapy. Thank you Bikram White Rock for all the goodness and health you have brought to many of us.
