My situation with the Bikram Yoga Nashua studio initially was to face my physical issue where I had significant medical surgery on my right shoulder. My doctor told me it would take more than half a year to fully recover and that I could forget about my favorite sports acitivities such as golf and swimming for the year. However when he saw me after 2-3 months of disciplined attention to doing the yoga exercises, he was astonished that I had almost fully recoverd my range of motion, strength and was without pain.
