I started Bikram Yoga because I have two herniated discs in my neck. Two months of physical therapy wasn't working, and people were constantly asking me if I'd tried yoga. So, I gave Bikram Yoga Nashua a try. Not only has my neck pain disappeared, but I've also seen my arms get defined again (I had to take 9 months off from the gym following my injury) and I feel more rejuvinated. I'm also less stressed and an overall more positive person!

After your first Bikram class, what was your impression?

After my first Bikram class, I couldn't wait for the next one.  I couldn't believe first of al that I had made it through, and second of all how challenging it was.  That only made me want to come back for more.

What drives you to continue to practice?  What keeps bringing you back?

The teacher, Miranda Chicklis, is a huge reason for why I come back. She is such a great teacher - patient, kind, and understanding - and she cares about each and every student. I keep coming back because I feel so good about the benefits from Bikram Yoga.

What are some of the benefits and changes you've seen in yourself?

What is your favorite posture?

My favorite posture is Garurasana because I can do it!

What is the greatest challenge about the yoga? Yourself?

The greatest challenge about the yoga is balancing. The greatest challenge about myself is that I have to push myself, but the rewards are great!

What advice can you give to a 1st timer after they complete the class?

Come back. It gets easier and more rewarding each and every time. Plus, it's a great place to meet people!
