I remember my first Hot Yoga class at the Barkan Method Ft.Lauderdale. I was exhausted and I just sat in the shower after class 🥴 But what a good feeling afterwards. Then there was the Vinyasa class, so hard to make through it. Game changer 🙏🔥

[@TheBarkanMethodofHotYoga]

Yes our first class is always something to remember!!

It’s always difficult to explain to others what’s the real hot yoga is about. You ve done a great job! May I borrow some of your words? Where are you teaching live classes now?

[@TheBarkanMethodofHotYoga]

Of course… be my guest! Teaching at Prana Hot Yoga… used to be Bikram Ft Lauderdale!! 🙏🙏🙏

On the same page as you, Jimmy, with one caveat. Especially for older practitioners, overtraining can erode progress, or even lead to injury. Sometimes a rest of a few days paradoxically increases progress. That's if you've been consistently practicing intensively. Bikram always said that savasana was the most important posture, and I think this is what he means--that rest is part of practice. That's when the stimulus of exercise is completed by the opportunity of the body, in rest, to rebuild connective tissue. It's tricky to get the balance just right. Especially as we get older. Many thanks for the inspiration, Jimmy! Always enjoy the lectures!

My pleasure Mary!

[@TheBarkanMethodofHotYoga]

Let me know about your personal journey? Do you remember your first class?? 🙏🤷‍♂🙏

[@barkansinger]

Yes....remember it well...Then I was hooked for life!!

I met you in 1984 after I busted an Achilles tendon and I was in a cast you told me to come to your yoga class and I would not need physical therapy .I had never done yoga before . I came to the class not knowing what to expect. I had no balance I was not flexible. I almost fainted and luckily you had Gatorade to buy in the studio. But I made it through the whole class and in the relaxation Part at the end of the class I had the most wonderful Euphoric feeling. I continued with your classes for many years and My balance improved and I became much more flexible. I am now 72 years old and I believe that all of those yoga classes have really helped me in my life. I am still flexible and I look forward To one day coming back to your yoga class. I'm only afraid that I would try to do too much and over do it. But I'm sure you would watch out for me like you watched out for all your students. it was a pleasure going to your classes.

Im definitely starting to notice when I do hot yoga in a row I feel much better but when I take a day off the next time I do it my body is so sore and stiff , I’m new I’m in month 3/ going into 4, it’s been an incredible journey I’m discovering

[@TheBarkanMethodofHotYoga]

Makes all the difference! 🙏🙏

[@Leilzz]

My first class was at the Barkan hot yoga studio in Fort Lauderdale and I haven’t found anything comparable to my experience there! #barkanmethodisthebestmethod 😂🎉
