Time & Location: 12:45pm In class
On Wednesday, we had a guest yogi, Dianna Polli, come in and teach us Bikram Yoga. The whole class spread their individual mats across the room and waited for Dianna to start the practice. The whole practice was extreme stretching of the muscles. There were some poses and bends that I found very demanding and difficult to complete. Throughout the class, there was a lot of emphasis on breath. I also found that balance was a big part of the practice as well. I found myself falling all over the place constantly, struggling to get into positions.
Dianna was a good teacher, but I found it hard to follow her teachings when she didn't show us herself. We were all just trying to decipher what her explanations were. Another thing I didn't like about Bikram was the fact that we could not close our eyes. When doing yoga, I normally close my eyes and try to relax. I personally found Bikram more of a physical practice than a spiritual one, but it was a good experience.
