Well i have finally tried hot yoga! And let me tell you i loved it! There is nothing like dripping of sweat and having it bead on your skin to know you are having a kick ass workout. Dynamic Fitness, Moncton's newest yoga studio, which also carries a TON of Lululemon gear had a promo weekend where all hot yoga classes were FREE and everything Lulu was tax free. Now i am kicking myself for not buying anything but i was so hungry after i had to get out of there to get some food in me. I need at least an hour to pick out what Lulu gear i want with my birthday gift certificates. $178 won't go far in that store. BUT it's so worth it because it lasts. I am going to Hali in a few weeks where they have a full blown Lulu store. So i will wait until then!
If you haven't tried hot yoga yet i recommend that you do! It is intensely hard and detoxifying. You feel amazing after! I think there is a hot yoga high much like a runner's high, but not completely the same. While it is hard don't let that scare you away. You can come out of any of the poses at any point and take a break and have some much needed water (i did lot's). I drank a liter of water in the hr and 15 min class, whew.
Now here are some of my tips before venturing to a class...make sure you drink 2 liters of water before class (i only drank a liter) and EAT. I did it on an empty stomach and that's why i was so desperate to get out of there to get home and eat. My body needed fuel after that intense workout. I was beat. They say to eat 2 hrs before class and i only woke up an hour before class. So next time i happen to go on a Saturday i will ensure i wake up at least 2 hours before class. It has to be 2 hours before class because when you practice hot yoga it should be on a fairly empty stomach, don't want to puke in the middle of class now do ya?
So what are you waiting for get out and try it! I plan on attending about once a month. That's all my current budget will allow! At $15 a pop it is pricey but so worth the dripping sweat!
