Hot Yoga

Thanks Emily! I never get sick so when I do I'm a big whiner. That's a great idea and I'll see if the studio will let me do that.

Good luck! I hope they'll be understanding.

Sounds like everyone is really enjoying their practice. I am so glad we started this thread! I am off this week so I got to go to an early morning class at 5:45 on Monday morning. It is hot, but only and hour and the teacher is SO fun and a bit crazy. We did a lot of laughing. At the end she got us in a handstand on the wall and had us hold it. I was the last one up and as soon I got up there I said...start counting...quick! So fun.

Today I am going to a gentle class after I finish some grading and chase some free range dust bunnies.

Namaste!

Yes, this is a great thread!

Today I truly felt like I was in a hot yoga class as I was just dripping from every pore. It was raining lightly during much of the practice and so humid. For some reason I was really shaky today on all the one-legged stuff and even fell right down at one point (so embarrassing!) I have no idea why, but I was sweating so hard and really struggling with the heat, I guess.

Near the end when we were stretching, I turned towards the sliding door behind me on a twisting stretch, and there was a rainbow outside! The instructor saw it at the same moment I did and and said that there was an "arco iris" (the Spanish words for rainbow). It brought a smile to my face and ended the challenging practice on a great note.

I went to the same yoga class today. You can see the rides thread about my ride there!
The class was great. I even managed to do Crow pose for a second.
Now I have to figure out how to add in another class, without giving up anything else.

It finally happened. I cried during yoga. Apparently it's a pretty common phenomenon.

The good thing about crying during hot yoga though is that it mixes with the sweat and no one can tell.
