I'm in love, I tried hot yoga for the first time tonight and it was amazing. I was nervous at first because I've only done yoga maybe 3 times before. I got to class and walked into the studio, it was hot but not unbearable. I didn't think it'd be too tough. Wrong. It was amazing. I felt like I'd had a really long week and a lot emotionally going on to think through and process and this helped. I have cried a bunch in the past couple of days and just couldn't cry anymore. For an hour I did yoga at 99 degrees and I sweat more than anything I've ever done. With each breath I sent a part of what was on my mind, out. Each breath in was part of newness taking up space in my body, not leaving room for anything else. I needed yoga tonight not just for another workout, I needed to center myself and bring me back to me. Yoga is a different kind of me time than running, it's quiet, and I focus on every move my body makes, it isn't just a natural thing that I do, it takes focus.
It's my new favorite thing, I have it on the calendar for every Sunday at 7, it's a great way to get rid of whatever happened the previous week and gets you started for the next.
99 isn't hot. Get the teacher to set it to 105 whre it belongs.
ReplyDeleteI can not comment on hot yoga...but I do hope you are ok!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved 105! Is it safe to do hot yoga in my sauna? @Rabbit, thanks buddy. Honestly, it helped to refocus on what's important. :) TRY HOT YOGA. Unless you hate being hot. It's AMAZING!
