Hello Friends and Followers!
I am determined to keep trying hot yoga, so I attended my second class at The Yoga Joint and needless to say it was HOT and very challenging!!! But I was determined to find it in myself to try, for those of you that are unfamiliar with Hot yoga here is some information on it- hot yoga is held in a room that is heated to 105 degrees with 30 to 60% humidity. I know what you’re thinking, “Way to take it easy on your first day back,” but I have to say it was AMAZING. I immediately fell in love. Afterwards, I read up on the benefits of hot yoga. It helps reduce stress, improve muscle tone, increase energy and stamina level, increase circulation and that’s just naming a few. We even started meditate and chant OM!!! I had finally found a workout that exercised my body, mind and my spirit. So I purchased four more classes and I am excited to keep trying and hopefully get better and better. Mentally, I felt more relaxed when I left there and I felt a sense of ease as well. Even though I was the heaviest women in the class , I realized that its not about EVERYONE else its about ME. I give myself credit for going out there and trying it and the way my body reacted to the heat was insane, the sweat was dripping off of me and even dripped into my eyes a few times. Thru the poses I pushed myself and took breaks when needed but all in all its an amazing experience!
