Bikram Yoga en Español

Bikram Yoga San Antonio has started teaching yoga classes once a week in Spanish. Unknowingly, I went to take a class last night and ended up spending 90 minutes in the hot room for Spanish yoga. Disclaimer- I wasn't planning on blogging about yoga two days in a row, but I really wanted to share with my readers how awesome Spanish yoga is! (A few of the instructors at BYSA are from Mexico/South America).  Spanish yoga is a great concept for San Antonio, the city has a huge Spanish language influence with many of its residents speaking Spanish as their first language.  Bikram Yoga can be very overwhelming the first time as you try and following 26 postures in a 105 degree heated room for 90 minutes.  Spanish yoga reaches out deeper into the community and allows more first-timers to come try this amazing yoga that could change your life (it definitely changed mine). For the non-Spanish speakers, don't be deterred for taking a Spanish class, I thoroughly enjoyed the class and it challenged me to pay even more attention to the instructor and focus deeply on my postures.
