Bikram Yoga Leicester

Yoga has changed my life. In the last 6 months I have lost a stone, toned up, my confidence has increased, my energy levels have soared as has my mood, sense of wellbeing and happiness! The euphoria after class frames the whole of the rest of my day. Yoga has increased my sense of patience, focus and possibly wisdom! I am more emotionally in touch with myself and others and feel more integrated. Big thanks.

"I'd tried every form of exercise there was - then I discovered Bikram!"

Before I discovered Bikram, I had tried every aerobics class in existence, and cycled and ran, all of which had begun to take their toll on my knees and back.

I also had an unhealthy relationship with food, always on a diet. But as I stepped into my first class, all that was to change.

I attended my first Bikram yoga class in May 2007. I walked into my first class with an open mind as I had never practised yoga before.

Looking back, I was nervous, self-conscious and I hid at the back of the class not knowing anyone or what to expect. Libby taught my first class and was welcoming and encouraging.

Although I found the class challenging and I was shocked by the heat, I went on to complete 8 out of my first 10 days.

I was drawn to yoga to find peace of mind during a tough spell in my life, but I was also pleasantly surprised at the benefits the classes had on my physical health and well-being.

I no longer spend tedious hours on the treadmill; I crave healthy nutritious food which has kept my weight at a healthy level since starting Bikram.

And ladies - it’s the best tummy toner after babies!

 I'm a more confident, focused and a less crazy person thanks to Bikram. I can’t imagine my life without it - it's fab!

 Thank you so much, Libby, Rachel, Sharan and Chris… you saved my life!

I am able to do my university work in half the time.

"I came to Bikram with thyroid problems. It's now three years since I've needed to take any medication for it!"

After being diagnosed with an overactive thyroid in 2005, I was dosed up on medication that seemed to produce more negative side effects than benefits.

In 2006, a friend told me to go and give Bikram a go, because it's known to help control the thyroid gland.

I knew my condition was aggravated by stress and as I lead a hectic lifestyle I thought I'd give it a go - I had nothing to lose!

From day one, I absolutely loved it! Whenever I enter the studio, I leave my stresses and strains at the door.

I found the classes physically challenging, but mentally uplifting and with the continual support and encouragement of the studio's team. Three months on, I found myself sitting in front of my doctor, asking him to allow me to come off my medication.

I had to have blood tests every six weeks to monitor my condition, as my doctor was concerned that any improvement would be short-lived. Three years on and I'm still off the medication.

What's more, I have yet to leave a class without feeling much better than when I walked in.

"" The best part about Bikram Yoga is that it becomes part of you. No matter what happens ,you can count on this to make your day.Thank you Libby and Rachel. Oh yeah I got thinner and thinner.

The biggest change for me is how much calmer I feel after Bikram. My work is fast paced, in a pressured environment. Sometimes I arrive in the worst mood possible! Bikram ALWAYS turns me around and seems to give me what I need - whatever that is. How good is Bikram yoga? I drive 1 hour and 15 mins to get here after a long day - that's how good Bikram is!

Bikram yoga gives me the chance to empty my head - something which I thought I would never achieve.

"Bikram Yoga is amazing. Its completely reshaped my body, and given me a massive amount of energy. I've just completed my degree and bikram definately helped me get through. Thank you Rachel and Libby .You are fantasic Teachers, and have helped me develope loads." Lisa

I have been coming to Bikram since January and have lost 2 stone in that time! I feel so much more toned, breathing better in my other sports and eating a lot purer, more natural foods! I feel fantastic!

I have a better back, better posture, stronger knees, less problems with wrists after using the computer for long periods of time, and less problems with rapidly falling blood sugar levels.

" I have been coming to Bikram for 4/5 months now. I'm totally addicted. I love it!

I feel stronger, more toned, and I've lost weight, people have remarked that I look taller, yah!I also feel calmer and more in control of things. Bikram has helped me immensly, with my struggle with depression and anxiety. Libby Rachel and C.J, your energy, and enthusiasm is inspiring, and makes such a difference. Thanks very much."

I feel more focused, self aware and fit. I can now run 5km without a problem. I am more aware of healthy eating since I began Bikram Yoga.

" Not been able to get here for a week. I feel blloody  awful. My body is tired ,weak and emotional. I'm so pleased I'm here today, I can fix that. I Love  this place! "

" JUST TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE TEAM. I LOVE BIKRAM YOGA, IT'S WICKED.

IT HELPS ME IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE. THANKS AGAIN - Julia. (Stopped smoking for 7 weeks now)
