I have a kidney failure due to adult onset polycystic disease and am on dialysis three times a week. I wonder if Bikram's yoga practice can help?

Bikram recommends performing the whole series religiously, working extra hard and long on those poses listed below as being excellent for kidney function and abdominal organs. Your body can and will right itself.

• Half moon
  
• Eagle
  
• Standing Bow and Bow
  
• Standing separate leg stretching, and standing separate leg stretching forehead to knee
  
• Triangle
  
• Wind Removing Pose
  
• Half Tortoise
  
• Camel
  
• Rabbit
  
• Seated Head to Knee with Stretching Pose
  
• Spinal Twist
