^^probably not, but 6 weeks of 3-4 classes would give a significant change in your flexibility
bikram is a hot yoga, done in a studio at 41 degrees
normal yoga will also give similar results, but you would need to do beginners classes. the bikram teaching style is slightly different, so there are no beginners introductory classes
like many physical disciplines once you have learned some basics it is still a good idea to get continued training, your own perspective is often very limited and an external obeserver/coach will be able to give corrective/improvement advice
i am also a lazy fucker who needs the structure of classes to ensure i do something (because I pay for yoga classes I have been trying to attend once a day at least recently)
^Dan, i get your point, but a good instructor makes a huge difference to postural alignment, which will then have a significant impact on core strength and deeper flexibility
you can just flop into a forward bend or fold properly, both may look similar to a casual observer, but there is a major difference in the outcome, hence why instruction makes a lot of sense
