Stacey Stier - My brother introduced me to Bikram Yoga in 2000. He had been practicing for 1 month, 3 times a week in Portland and had lost 10 pounds and was getting enormous relief from his neck and back pain from which he’d been suffering for years. I have never been a flexible person and was unable to even touch the floor when I attended my first class in Dallas. It definitely was a love-hate relationship. I hated how uncomfortable I felt in the postures but I loved how I felt afterwards. For 90 minutes my mind and body were focused solely on my yoga. All my worries were set aside every single time I practiced.
