Well I didn't keep up very well with my hot yoga updates... but here we go!
Class number 2 was on Saturday. I felt much better going into the class - still nervous, but better! The class was so much easier the second time around. I didn't have to sit out any poses at all, and I felt like I was more capable of enduring the heat. I felt great afterwords!
Class number 3 was on Tuesday. Oh my lord. This class was the hardest by far. I found it harder in the heat, the poses were harder, and I had to sit out a few. I felt lightheaded.... and so did Sarah! But in talking about it afterwords we decided we both didn't prepare for that session very well. Personally, I drank a glass and a half of wine the night before (on an empty stomach) and then had a really late not very healthy dinner... I think that had a LOT to do with why the class was so hard for me.
Class number 4 was today! I prepared much better for this class. I drank more water beforehand, I didn't have any alcohol last night, and I had a healthy meal at a reasonable time. Good class! I felt more flexible today and pushed myself harder. So did Sarah. We both found today's class to be really excellent. I can't wait to go again!!!
I am really excited about the benefits of Hot Yoga. In doing this regularly I should become more flexible, lose weight, detox my body, tone my muscles, and generally feel happier and better about life in general. I could go on about the details of what it does to your body, but .... I won't! :P
I am super excited about this yoga helping me change my life.
