I was not aware that I was going to create such a stir by asking what I thought to be a very simple question....  Anyway, I feel like grabbing a knife and scooping out my quads and hamstrings at the moment as my legs hurt badly. I have being practicing everyday and did my first double yesterday. Advil: been there, done that. Massage, same thing. I guess just getting through the practice everyday is going to be my best bet.... I seriously want to cut my legs off as they feel like hammers pounding on them, a very dull pain... I apologize, I don't mean to complain too badly. I love this yoga, my mind is as high as I can imagine what a drug would be like, it's just right now my body is not following suit... I appreciate all of the advice  | |||

I appreciate all of the advice Hey Wibus, You really, really need to back off your practice a tinsy little bit. I would be careful about how far your pushing yourself into each pose and watch that very carefully. You know what?? You don't have to push to that level of pain to get the results from the asana, you only push a little bit over to the other side of discomfort. Having that said, when I was doing Bikram every day, I was going to Acupuncture every week...which helped a bunch. Once my Chinese Doctor when I told him my hamstrings hurt like h*%l, thought I meant for him to do the acupuncture on that area. Well, I couldn't get out of it and he put the needles all over those areas...talk about relief, it felt great to have that done and it cured my hamstring problem...which I had for weeks!! Anyway, have you ever heard of Tiger Balm?? It works good for temporary relief. I like the White Tiger Balm as it is the stronger one. Mainly, you need to rest your body as it is really important and rest will help your Chi Flow which is what you need to get through Bikram. Try to balance that out. When I was doing an every day practice, I did it over the winter months when I didn't have much going on..I sorda took a retreat. Today, there is no way with Summertime and all the activity at my house. I'm actually looking forward to winter time again,  | ||

| Cyndi- Thank you. I agree. I think my problem is, is that I get so very excited and I overdo it. A good friend of mine is going to teacher training in a month so this has been her job. I did my first double with her the other day along with going everyday.... I took the weekend off and it helped a lot. Triangle pose has posed a problem for me and that is where I am getting a lot of the pain, so, I have modified it to my own needs as to not stress my legs too much. Anyway, am heading into the bath with the salt!!! | |||
