So you made it this far – you are in the Bikram hot room waiting for class to start. The first thing you notice is that it feels really HOT!
OK, yes, it is hot – but remember this is your first class and you need to acclimatise to the conditions and environment in which you will be practicing your yoga.
You are surrounded by friendly fellow students – some will be new comers just like you, and others will be regulars who come to class every day. They have all either been through, or are going through, exactly the same feelings you are encountering at this moment.
Just know that you are in a caring environment and you will be looked after. Do not expect too much of yourself in the first class – if you feel overwhelmed, please, just rest on your mat and wait for it to pass. Its all part of the process.
