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.

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. The Benefits of each separate exercise will be given no great emphasis in the body of the Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class™. Bikram does not wish to tempt students to laziness or half measures. For instance those poses marked as good for slipped disc are, it is true, specifically good for correcting that condition. Done alone, however, they will not cure slipped disc. It is Bikram's complete series of exercises that "cures."
