Kind of an awesome way of thinking about Bikram Yoga.

I just discovered an awesome writer, thanks for a friend's Facebook post. Isn't that how we discover everything these days?

Rachel Meyer, who is based in San Francisco, writes a blog about yoga and philosophy, to put it briefly. She's really good at capturing a lot of the feelings that arise when we practice, both on and off the mat.

She also wrote a great article for Recovering Yogi about her relationship with Bikram Yoga. After reading it, I could definitely see the point, and although I never really had any kind of regular Bikram practice (three classes, ever), I've shifted my perspective somewhat on the style.

But I'm never going to think of myself as a "Japanese Ham Sandwich." Sorry, Mr. Bikram.
