Hot, Humid, Hard

This morning I was convinced ( begged) by my younger and much more flexible yogi sista to try a hot yoga class. I am not a yoga buff. Typically I can not relax and focus. The few times I have tried I am bored and wishing I was out for run. However, in fairness I am very bad at following the sequences and holding poses. i.e the downward dog is not a relaxing pose for me. I am a whimp who is not flexible.

BUT today was very different.....it was challenging and by no means was I bored. I was also SO HOT and SO SWEATY. Did I mention the class was 90 minutes long. I was clock watching frequently....see I suck at relaxing.

SO my yoga loving, heat adoring sibling would love me to join her in this relaxing torture every Saturday but I am not sure I have the water reserves, and the determination to go every week. I think I remain a runner/outdoor preferring enthusiast. I like this kind of high better. However, Karen I do promise to join you again and I promise to find you other friends who will also be able to laugh in silence with you during the ommmms.

  1. I have grown to love yoga over the past two years but I'd NEVER do hot yoga! There's a hot yoga studio on our block but I refuse to go in there! haha!
