To read testimonials about how Bikram Yoga has helped others, please visit the Bikram Yoga Headquarters site at http://www.bikramyoga.com. The following information is quoted from the Headquarters site:
"You may be wondering what Bikram means when he says he can 'cure' people with his yoga. In reality, he explains, there is no such thing as a cure. Doctors say they have cured a patient when they have removed the symptoms of a particular problem. But if you are cured of the flu on Monday, no one in the world can guarantee that on Friday you won't get the flu again.
And so when Bikram speaks of curing chronic diseases such as arthritis or slipped disc, he is saying that if you faithfully follow his directions, you will be relieved of your symptoms of discomfort. That is the only 'cure' anyone can offer.
But Yoga offers two guarantees with the cure: Guarantee One: If you continue to perform Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class™ regularly-all twenty-six poses--exactly as directed--the chronic symptoms will not return. Guarantee Two: If you don't continue your Yoga faithfully, fully, or as directed, your symptoms will return."
