review 1: I took some hot yoga classes at the Bikram yoga studio in Encino. I found an article about this book in last years Yoga Journal magazine while waiting for class to start in the lobby. Curiosity took over, and I had to read this book (kindle version) The stories and interview were fascinating. The quotes in the last part of the book proving where the info was from was kinda longish, so I skipped it. I had to find out who Bikram was and is, and where he got his inspiration and why the rooms are sooo darn HOT! I guess I know more now. Very...interesting.....
review 2: Very entertaining book. Well written and balanced in the approach to the subject. I am a regular practitioner of Bikram. Nothing I have read changes my opinion regarding the program. It ha... mores helped me personally just even though my situation was not as extreme as some of the others identified in the book. I would recommend it even it you are not interested in yoga as it gives a glimpse into the transformation of individual lives, both good and bad. less
