The answer? Very well, thank you for asking.
I originally thought I'd struggle to go every day, and even if I did manage to actually get there I thought I'd certainly struggle with the class itself. Turns out the regime of actually having to be at the studio at a certain time each day (particularly during the week) has been something of a blessing in disguise; I'm actually getting up on time because I know I have to be at work by a certain time so that I can leave at a certain time to be at the studio at … well, you get the idea.
And far from struggling more with each passing day I'm finding that it's actually getting easier. The 90 minutes often feel like they zip by in a flash (although I do still hate balancing stick pose with a passion) and before I know it I'm queuing in Waitrose to buy a refreshing fruity drink.
As for other benefits … well, my shoulders have gotten noticeably bigger, my thighs and calves more defined, and I've dropped down a hole on my belt (which is both awesome and a little worrying because I'm on the last hole now). All that in just one week.
Lord knows what will happen in the three weeks still remaining.

It's either a new belt or punch more holes...
Excellent job! When do we get to see the photo progression of your 30 days? Pre, then perhaps weekly shots, and a post photo?
Come on now... you know you have an adoring audience who'd love to see that! *looks around for IDV*
Yes, Sparky Pa has been warned to get his belt-hole-punching tools at the ready.
And don't encourage IDV!
I think Ponita raises a valid point. Photos!
It's important for all us non bikram yogis to learn all the ins and outs of yoga.
Especially the ins!
Here I am, Ponita!
Cyberpete - But I'm not a qualified teacher - it would be irresponsible of me to show you the ins and outs.
Inexplicable Device - BAD WITCH! *slap*
That looks like a variation of Dancer pose. It's tough but if you focus on one point, you'll find the balance easier.
