So last night I developed a new love for Yoga! My ballet teacher was telling me about Bikram Yoga and I was very intrigued. I found a class and went last night. It was absolutely amazing! The thing that makes it different than regular yoga is that the room temperature is about 100 degrees or more, forcing you to sweat, and allowing your muscles to be more pliable and stretchable! It also gets rid of all your toxins in your body, helps with blood cells and regulates digestive system. Some call it the torture chamber! In fact, when I first got there, they told me my goal for the day was to stay in the room the entire time and if I got nausious than just sit and relax. Well, it was a little uncomfortable at first, and of course it smells like sweat, but you get used to it and it becomes natural. After awhile I didn't really notice the sweat. It was awesome though! It felt like I had just completed a cardio workout! I am really going to try my hardest to take this class at least once a week. It will definitely help with my dancing, flexibility and hopefully strengthen my back so I wont be in so much pain all the time. Anyway, I am hooked after my first time, so if anyone would like to come with me sometime, you're welcome :) GO YOGA! haha! NAMASTE! :)
