Alison Gowland – Rheumatoid Arthritis

bikram — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 02:55:19 +0000

Since being diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at age 13, followed by rheumatoid arthritis a few years later, I had struggled endlessly juggling combinations of drugs, therapies and operations to combat the pain and inflammation that had engulfed and at times, completely crippled my body – that was until I discovered Bikram Yoga aged 34.

After walking through the doors of hot room for the first time at the old Burleigh Beach studio, I had an enormous sense that I had finally found a remedy for my pain. At this stage I had just undergone four operations within a year on my foot/knees, and took a daily combination of eight types of arthritic medication – however after practicing regularly, within two months not only was I feeling healthy, fit, focused and able to freely move joints that hadn’t functioned in years, I had also rid myself of all the medications, bar one.

That was almost 3 years ago now, and to this day I am painfree the majority of the time from regular practice, and only take the one medication once a fortnight. My rheumatologist says it is the best he has ever seen me!

Additionally Bikram has built up my core strength, flexibility and balance which allows me to pursue my other passion – surfing.

The arthritis will never completely leave my body, but as long as I practice Bikram, my body will continue to heal and I’ll enjoy the active lifestyle I have always craved.

Thank you so much Sean, Jodie and all the wonderful teachers, you have provided so much encouragement and guidance that I will be forever grateful for.

Peta Jeffery – Spinal Injury

bikram — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 02:49:56 +0000

In 2008 I injured my lower back, my symptoms progressed quickly from pain to serious mobility issues. In 2010 the doctors went ahead with an Anterior Lumbar Fusion at L5/S1 due to a ruptured disc. The surgery was successful and i was walking (with assistance) within hours, I was so happy. I was still experiencing left leg weakness and nerve compression symptoms along with pain 6 months after the surgery. In April of 2011 doctors found that the L4/5 Disc had collapsed and was compressing L5 nerve root. Doctors wanted to operate again but I did not want them to as I was up and about and didn’t see the point for a 60% chance of getting somewhat better.

I started Bikram yoga in early 2011, before I got the news of my L4/5 disc changes, and my symptoms have only improved since. I have no loss of strength in my left leg any more, Very little Left leg nerve pain and if you saw me you couldn’t tell I have a problem or that there was a large amount of time I spent unable to walk.

Because of the injury, I had very low confidence and had serious issues even voicing my opinion to a doctor or even family member. Through this time I was also having frequent panic attacks, daily headaches and mood swings. Bikram yoga has been amazing for my inner self and has slowly given me a strong mind and the confidence to speak to anyone. Since starting bikram yoga I have not had one panic attack nor have I frozen in public. Bikram yoga has also given me a great body too.

A big thank you to Sean, Jodie and the team, you have changed my life for the better.
