Thanks for mentioning that you're "pretending not to have you're stomach on the ground." I can definitely relate. I found that Leeann Carey has a great free yoga video on chaturanga dandasana.

I've run into several Birkam instructors who are much like the Wife/co-owner you describe, which is probably why I'm not a Bikram fan. It's too strict for me! LOL BTW I found your blog thru the 2010 Top Yoga blog Awards (congrats!) Hmm…I personally like hot yoga, but NOT Bikram.

Yep, not for me. And I think that's alright. :) It sounds like that instructor was a bit 'special'. hopefully there is another instructor at that studio who isn't like that... :) or if it's moksha, you might have some difficulty as I know they don't usually post the instructor's name who is teaching the class....

Now it just makes me dizzy. The only time I enjoyed hot yoga was right after I moved away from FL and was still craving the sauna-like heat my body was used to living in. Now it just makes me dizzy.

And felt kinda like crap lol. but then, I always figure that most people are stronger than myself... so perhaps my perspectives aren't representative?

Just discovered your blog. I too have been through my fair share of weeding through the yogic diet recommendations. I tried going veggie and had to stop because of horrible stomach cramps. Later, I found out I'm allergic to soy. Also tried the ayurvedic warm sesame oil massage for my vata dosha and ended up with itchy red skin. Yep, allergic to sesame seeds, too. I need to get around to blogging about my adventures. Can't wait to read more of your posts. You’re hilarious! Just discovered your blog.

I totally agree about the exclusion of meat, milk, and butter from yoga journals and related literature. Soy products are not necessarily healthier for you than those things, which are, as you imply, more in their original, unprocessed(hopefully) form. When you look at the list of ingredients for soy products, say, veggie bacon, most of that stuff is unrecognizable. A slab of steak, pure raw butter or milk? If it's good stuff, ya know where it came from. BTW, I love the pairing of meat and yoga. Cool site. great post!

I was a vegetarian for 10 years (vegan for one of those), until I started eating meat on Christmas Eve of 2009 -- it was a turkey and cheddar sandwich on sourdough, and it was delicious. While vegetarian, I was also a runner and did some weight lifting, and I experienced constant muscle soreness and a depressed immune system. It was as if I never fully recuperated from my workouts - I hurt all the time, and I got sick several times a year. I haven't made the leap to any red meat, and I don't plan to venture back into the world of pork, but since incorporating some poultry back into my diet, my body has responded very well. No more persistent muscle aches, not a single cold or flu all winter, and still going strong. Love the concept of your blog.

Basically, this Stone Age diet consisted of vegetables and lean red meat. In this type of diet animal meat is consumed in large quantities and 45 to 65% of the energy needed by the body is derived from it. The amazing fact is that the people who used to survive on this diet till the early centuries had extremely low rates of cancer, obesity, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, heart diseases till they shifted to our modern diets. Thus, many scientists and nutritionists feel that Paleolithic diet is a very good tool for fighting against obesity, cancer and many other modern ailments. The foods included in this diet are generally lean red meat, eggs, fish, fruits, nuts and vegetables. Items like breads, pasta, milk, refined sugars were excluded from this diet. This diet used to vary region and culture wise in different countries. The specialty of this diet is it is rich in protein, fiber, minerals, iron, vitamins, mono unsaturated fat, omega3 fats, antioxidants and phyto-chemicals.
