Open a Bikram studio in Iceland. I think it would be really successful and it could be heated by the geothermal stuff! Iffer: You should do it! Open a Bikram studio in Iceland.

I always sais my dream was to open a Bikram's studio in Reykjavik, as I'm surprised no one has already! I began doing Bikram's yoga for two reasons; To alleviate my agression, and to condition my body. I find it so intense that I feel deflated of any hostility or depression after. You can't do anything but hope to get through the 90 minutes. It's not for everyone, thats for sure but I love the challenge and the progress I notice every time I go! Jonas, I wish I could offer helpful suggestions, but I have never been in your shoes so I can only what works for me; (other than Bikrams and Bjork Music) I think any yoga would be helpful, BTW! I love to cook and sing at the same time, I put on my favorite music, and; I make a whole day out of grocery shopping for high quality ingredients, then I prep for the next few days, pre cooking veg, pasta, grains, making soup, stew, baking biscuts, and belting out my favorite songs. I find being at home in my kitchen, nuturing myself and those who I love is the best meditation I know. I think reading blogs, cleaning, and going for long walks are also excellent outlets. I hope you find a way to unwind and enjoy your precious few days at home! Funny, I just stopped in to check out if the blog had been updated, and you’re talking about Bikrams.

Also: Not that it's all fun and games. Some of the poses feel like they were stolen straight from the pages of the Complete Idiot's Guide to Self-Inflicted Torture.

Another thing I do to unwind is drink white Russians and watch Live Zabor really loud, yet another unhelpful suggestion. Romain, did you set up your myspace yet?

Its not the toxins that made you feel sick, its just a pure physical reaction to doing something hard in an unnaturally hot temperature. My best friend said she hated me after I took her to her first session. Now she is a Bikram addict. I experienced the drug euphoria afterwards the first time because I grew up in Saudi Arabia and my body was very used exercizing in heat. I think most Bikram centers turn the heat too high anyway. Here is a funny article that pretty much sums up the immediate experience: http://www.metroactive.com/papers/cruz/07.27.05/bikram-0530.html jmmva: I have heard of the effect you experienced with Bikram…though I’ve never been to a certified class where there was any religious chanting, there isn’t supposed to be.
