What is Fixed Firm in the Bikram Series ?

  The Fixed Firm in the Bikram Series  is also called Reclining Diamond or Thunderbolt and called Supta Vajrasana in Sanskrit. Even though the most common name in the Bikram Series is Fixed Firm, the Sanskrit term Supta Vajrasana translates into English: Supta has the definition of "reclining," vajra has the meaning of "thunderbolt." Asana has the description of "pose." The Fixed Firm is the ultimate posture where you need to not force your way in and just listen to your body and notice your breath as you go into the pose, and the moment you see pain or discomfort, you need to take a step back. Let the pose up to you up and do not try and force your way into it. Doing one percent of the posture correctly will give you all the pose benefits, so take it easy on yourself.
