My 2nd try at hot yoga this evening! The room was at 102 F. Phew! I don't think I've sweat that much in my entire life. Seriously- I soaked my entire shirt . . . not that you wanted to know that (lol!) Totally worth it though and very rewarding!!! And, I think you should try it too :)
Don't worry if you're not super flexible! Yogi teachers are awesome and meet you where you are. We all have to start somewhere and there is no shame in being a beginner.
I still feel like a complete baby myself in the world of stretching / yoga, but I'm stomping my pride and reaching out.
I admit- it's sooo easy to constantly compare yourself to that amazing girl who can do that incredible spilt with seemingly perfect ease and think "no fair!". In all reality, though- she worked for it and so can I ( and you!) if we're willing to show up and do what it takes.
The question isn't, can you? But, will you?
There are so many poses that I can't wait to do but really just need to listen to my body (not pull anything!) and be consistent. :) Isn't that with everything ? ? ?
Are you a "stretcher" or yogi?
Have you tried hot yoga before?
If not, is yoga something you would consider getting into for the health benefits and just plain AMAZING feeling you get from a challenge :)

I've always wanted to try hot yoga, I'm definitely a stretcher!
yes, i LOVE hot yoga but had to put it on halt because of how expensive it was! Glad you are enjoying it!
I've only been to one yoga class in my life and I don't know if it is for me. However, I am an avid stretcher (I usually devote 10-15 minutes of my workout to stretching alone). Hot yoga is something I would definitely try, I just have to find a place that offers it!
I really like hot yoga! I'm in the middle of a 30 day yoga challenge and have been alternating between 'hot' and 'cold' classes. It's such a great workout!
I LOVE hot yoga!!! Going here in a few!! It is such a good detox and you feel amazing afterwards!
I am completely uncoordinated and not flexible at all but I LOVE hot yoga!! You really can do it at any level and I love how I feel afterwards!
Hot yoga is still on my "to try" list. I love the beginner type yoga classes that my fitness center offers. I'm not a yogi by an means but maybe one day.
