Hot Yoga…thoughts
-
i’ve done a bikram hot class as my first ever yoga class and had mixed feelings. i shouldn’t have done it as my first ever yoga class but i was so excited after seeing results from a friend that i had to try it. it was a bit much for my first class, but overall i loved it. i sweat quite a bit myself and slipped around but i think that with a towel and longer pants (i wore shorts), that could be remedied. i felt relaxed and refreshed afterwards and my skin was amazing. on that note, i have also taken yin yoga classes and LOVE those. i was advised that there is a fusion yoga class that does a hot yin so i am going to try that. i believe i like the yin focus more than the yang.

I LOVE hot yoga! The first class was torture, but I adapted quickly the second time. The heat helps you get sooooo flexibly stretchy and gets relaxing once you accept the sweat and learn to breathe. It’s gotten this lady in her 40s closer to the splits than anything!

I have tried it about 4 times… I really wanted to enjoy it because it’s great for flexibility, but I just honestly hate it. I bought like a 10 class package and just couldn’t bring myself to finish them all. I spend half the class laying on the floor with my instructor yelling at me not to close my eyes, lol. I feel really tired and drained and gross after I do it and once I had to leave because I got so uncomfortable and nauseous that I started to CRY. In class! LOL. It’s not for everyone but a lot of people love it. My best friend (who convinced me to go all those times) loves it and says it makes her feel amazing.
