Hot, HOT... YOGA

I’m finally going to do it…. I found a yoga studio close to my home that practices HOT Yoga. Never heard of it before today and I learned about it from a co-worker who has attended a couple of classes. She sent me to their website and I learned a little about it and made a decision to give it a try.

Here is a little spiel from their website:

The Original Hot Yoga
Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class is a twenty-six asana series designed to scientifically warm and stretch muscles, ligaments and tendons, in the order in which they should be stretched.

Bikram Yoga's twenty-six posture exercises systematically move fresh, oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body, to each organ and fiber, restoring all systems to healthy working order, just as Nature intended. Proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health, and a sense of well-being will automatically follow.

It kind of fits in there with the book I am reading (I believe in synchronicities J) as the 7 Day Total Cleanse requires that you do some Yoga Poses during the day and since I have NO idea really how to do them, attending one or two of these classes before I start that cleanse, should help me out quite a bit. Since this yoga practice is done in 105 F temperature, I know I will struggle a bit with the heat but if it will help me with my hip pain, then I’m all for it.

I know for a fact that there is NO WAY I will be able to do all 26 poses and those that I can attempt will not be a full version but I have to start somewhere – right?  It is 90 minutes long and the co-worker here that has tried it say’s you are absolutely done afterwards. I thought going to the 4:00 session tomorrow afternoon would be a really good way to start 2010.

I’ll let you know how I feel on Saturday.

I wish everyone a very Happy New Year!
