Six years ago I was diagnosed with arthritis, as a huge fan of playing sports I was looking for a new sport  that on the one hand will improve my functioning and on the other hand very enjoyable. I started in a regular yoga class as well as swimming on a regular basis, but I still felt that I did not exhausting my physical and mental abilities. After a friend recommended Bikram Yoga,  I signed up for the introduction week and was instantly hooked. The experience starts with the entrance to the heated humid room. It sounds weird but heat cures, releases and gives the body remarkable flexibility. Performance of the training with guidance of 90 minutes by the guides requires alertness, concentration and following every movement and posture. Each class is different and gives the trainee the experience mentally and physically new.Training system has made me more flexible, more aware of my body and relaxed. The stiffness I felt due to the arthiritis disappeared and with it came a change in diet, sleep and even every-day lifestyle.
