So recently I've been getting into Bikram yoga and it's fabulous! I got a great deal from Groupon for 10 classes for $39 at a great yoga studio in Santa Monica called Hot8Yoga thanks to mama Kole! I had to get one for Ry to join with me and we love it!I've been doing yoga for years and have always liked it, so I thought why not kick it up a notch with some heat! (Okay Emeril) I'm proud of myself for getting through the first class. Intense! It's definitely a challenge getting used to working out in temps of 105 and above. If you've never been..prepare to sweat! You will need to bring a change of clothes, drink a lot of water throughout the day before your class, and don't eat 2-3 hours before. You will get sick to your stomach during your practice!
Hot yoga is all about deep concentration on your breathe and the movement. You have to mentally prepare for this style of yoga for sure. I felt amazing after and so much more alert and present with the world. If you haven't tried Bikram please do. It's always great to challenge yourself to do things you never thought you would be able to do!
