Well I just got back home from doing my favorite thing in the world, hot yoga. Hot yoga, like the name suggests in yoga done in a hot room. The Yoga center that I practice at keeps their room at a sweltering 99 degrees. I think I sweat off like 3 pounds today. I feel exhausted and invigorated all at the same time, my head is tingly and I feel so alive. I have been doing yoga most of my adult life, and only started hot yoga about a year ago. What I like best is that the heat increases my flexibility greatly. In fact there are some poses that I can only do during my hot yoga sessions. I also love knowing that I am ridding myself of harmful toxins due to the excessive sweating that is taking place.
I do have 2 basic tips if you are going to try hot yoga.
1. Bring your own mat (for obvious reasons)
2. Drink copious amounts of water before and after (again, for obvious reasons)
