    in reply to: Hair in the way of practice- especially in rabbit! #8903

    Hi all –

    I have some crazy, poofy, long hair when its not done.

    I have found that a bun rather high up on the head works good. its perfect for rabbit because the elastic is far enough back that it will never effect me, plus the hair is off my neck which bothers me beyond belief.

    as far as headbands go….LuLuLemon sells an AWESOME head band that is like 3inches thick. The only time it moves a smidge is when i do the backbend in the half moon pose. its $18 so its pricey for a headband, but i dont have any fly-aways going crazy.

    i’m definitely not attractive during yoga due to my hair and headband, but everyone is focusing on themselves anyways right =]

    in reply to: How to Benefit from Bikram #8830

    Thanks for such a great response! I am hoping that I do eventually get the benefits of yoga between mind and body and that will effect what I am putting into my body (quality AND quantity).

    The hardest part about this process is my live-in-boyfriend plays basketball and is a runner and can eat horrible things that just look delicious and he doesn’t see the effects of it, but I do. I realize this and just have to finally take it a step further and see what it will do to me.

    As far as nutrition goes, does anyone have any suggested meal plans? Organic or not. I want to make this a lifestyle change and not just a quick fix and gain then gain the weight back. My current diet is a usual day of: dry cereal and strawberries (or banana) for breakfast. A salad and either a small panini or small turkey burger for lunch, and about 4-5oz of protein and vegetables at dinner. Then throw some candy in here and there. And a glass of wine here and there as well. I do not want to cut out candy and wine from my diet. I enjoy those things and believe that moderation to them is key. And that is what I am aiming for. But do I need to cut them out initially until I have reached the “mind and body connection” and then I won’t want them anymore?

    I want to make sure that I am maximizing the benefits of Bikram and not just going through the motions. Is 3-4days a week enough to see a change in my digestive system, cardiovascular system, etc? I am nervous of getting to worn out if I push it anything past that.
