When I first tried hot yoga a few months ago, I didn’t know what to expect. Sure, I knew it would be hot and that there’d be some yoga, but what would it really be like? Before heading into the class, the instructor told the newbies that the goal was to stay in the room the entire time, even if we were just lying down on our mats … that didn’t sound promising.
The room took my breath away, literally. They don’t call it hot yoga for nothing. As my body acclimated to the temperature, though, I found it relaxing — although, make no mistake, the temp was still on fire. As we moved through the series of poses, I was surprised by how much more flexible my body was in the heat. By the end of the 90-minute session, I had sweat profusely out of every pore in my body (gross, I know), but I felt great. A little dehydrated and tired, but strong and energized.
