After that, I was talking to a friend of mine who goes regularly to Bikram Yoga, and she finally convinced me to go:
Bikram Yoga is a series of twenty-six Hatha Yoga postures and two Pranayama breathing techniques designed to provide a challenging, invigorating, rejuvenating and effective yoga experience. During this 90-minute class, you will work every muscle, tendon, ligament, joint and internal organ in the entire body, giving you an incredible sense of well being.
There's Bikram or Hot Yoga studios around the world, so you can definitely find them, hopefully not too far from you.
I've been doing Bikram Yoga for the last 40 days or so, and I can tell you, I feel amazing: I've lost weight, posture is better, stomach feels stronger, and have increased my overall flexibility.
It's to the point that I really don't feel like I have GERD anymore, at at least the symptoms have virtually disappeared. About 3 weeks after I started doing Bikram, I started to: drink alcohol again, eat spicy food, eat closer to bed time, and eat bigger meals. I do try to keep my portions smaller than before, but overall I'm to what to me is normal.
