HowMuchWater

What are the benefits of Bikram Yoga? Why is it HOT??? Is there a beginner's class? How often should I practice? What if am not flexible? How much water should I bring to class? I have an injury or an illness can I still practice Bikram Yoga?

As a beginner, you might want a little bit, but you really don't need water for a Bikram Yoga class!   Make sure you hydrate before class, this will help a great deal. If you focus on stillness and your breath for the whole 90 minutes, you won't need anything else, it's just a distraction. Depending on which study you read, the body can absorb from 4 to 10 ounces of water every 60 minutes.  The rest stays in your stomach and can make you quite uncomfortable if you are stretching, bending, and twisting it.
