Hot and Sweaty Sunday.

Today I tried a new activity in which I am 100% convinced I will never willingly try again: HOT yoga.
I have been yoga crazy for the past couple months, and swear that I have seen changes in my flexibility, ability to relax, and stress levels. Just when I think I am about to explode from stress all around me, downward dog comes to my rescue.

Today I missed my Love. Energy. Power. Yoga class due to a coma-like 10 hour sleep.
So I thought I'd give the hot yoga flow class offered in the afternoon.

I wish I knew what I was getting myself into.

For all hot-yogi's out there, I'm sorry for bashing your practice. If you enjoy basking in your own sweat and feeling like you are being baked in an oven like a cake, be my guest!

Personally, I did not find it made me work harder than I normally would. In fact, the sweat was making me feel so uncomfortable, that I found myself working less.
Also, the savasana was just wayyy too short for my liking.
I need at least 5 minutes to get my mind to slow down, and a few more minutes for it to get boxed up and have room made for meditation.

One thing- the only thing- that I did enjoy about it was that I wasn't tired after.
Normally, I am either very very sore, or pleasantly fatigued from a good workout.

Finally, there is NOTHING pleasant about driving home in drenched clothes.

All for now,

Bikram Hot Yoga- May possibly be better than power yoga in a ridiculously hot room?
