Remember those days when you'd eye the clock at 60 minutes thinking, "Couldn't we just stop here? I'm tired, I'm sweating, isn't this enough?" You thought 90 minutes was arbitrary, maybe even excessive. Then Jim Kallett gave you the alphabet lesson that changed everything.
"There are 26 letters in the alphabet, just like 26 postures in the Bikram system. If you took out the least common letter—let's say X—now you have 25 letters. Guess what? You break your leg, no x-ray. You like swing music? No Lionel Hampton xylophone. Most importantly, no sex—now I have your attention. Are you going to take X out of the alphabet? That's the end of the species."
The point hits home: every posture serves a specific function in the comprehensive system. "You need to work out every internal organ, every muscle, tendon, ligament, bone, joint, nerve, blood vessel, down to the cellular level." Miss one element, and you're no longer getting the full benefit.
But here's the safety factor most people don't understand: "It takes 75 minutes for 99% of people to be warmed up enough to safely do the last five postures—camel, rabbit, spine twisting and stretching. If you're not warmed up enough, you can't do them effectively and safely. Do them too soon, you can hurt yourself over time."
"If it could be less, it would be less." This isn't Yoga ego—it's precision medicine. "Yoga isn't to become better at Yoga—it's to become better at life. We have families, jobs, life. This is the minimum to work comprehensively."
