It's Getting Hot in Here

Or hot in the yoga class I took last night. Yes I jumped onto the Bikram or Hot Yoga bandwagon. I had heard friends rave about it, my sister was loving it, so when some of my sorority sisters found a groupon for a new studio, I took the plunge, literally. When I stepped out of class last night I was drenched. For those of you not on the yoga train, Hot Yoga is 80-90 minutes of yoga in a 105 degree room that is 85-90% humidity. Add in about 25 bodies and its steamy. You move through different series of poses and moves all while sweating it out next to people you may or may not know (I took one of our paralegals with me, haven't seen her yet this morning...).

Now, I've done some yoga in the past, dry of course, but this was different. I had to focus so much on my breathing so I wouldn't pass out that the time flew by. As I told a friend, I was relaxed and exhausted all at the same time. Needless to say, but it also made me ready for bed! ( I apologize to whomever I sleep texted last night).

So, I'm hooked. Another trip to Lululemon for some more gear (aka absopring sweat towels) and remembering to bring a hair thing and a change of clothes for afterward. I warn you, if you do not like hot tubs, saunsas, lots of sweaty people, or heat in general, do not try this. However, for someone who has been an avid runner and kickboxer and doubted this would be a good workout, I admit my fault. And if you are an overworked, stressed out lawyer, its a MUST! ~The Illegal Blonde
