hot yoga.

On Friday, I went to my first hot yoga class and this morning (6am), I went to my second class.

I'm really starting to enjoy it!

Before going, I'd only done yoga once or twice, so I was a little unsure at first. We did yoga positions in a room that was heated to 85 or 95 degrees. I love the heat... creates a good sweat!

I plan on going back for the 6am Friday class!

benefits of hot yoga:

   -  your heart can work the same way doing yoga postures in a heated room as it does when running a mile, and you never even leave your mat (yoganonymous)
   -  the way you stretch and compress your internal organs and glands also stimulates metabolism so you are burning calories quicker outside the room as well (yoganonymous)
   -  the postures themselves are detoxifying for your muscles, organs, and glands and sweating furthers that (yoganonymous)
   -  as you sweat, your pores are opened and cleaned allowing natural lanolin to release through the pores, softening and preserving your skin’s elasticity (bikram yoga)
   -  warm muscles burn fat more easily as the heat flushes and detoxifies the body (bikram yoga)
   -  your cardiovascular system is worked and strengthened therefore, the more weight loss benefits you will receive (bikram yoga)
