Yesterday I took Hot Yoga. Core Power Yoga offers a free week and I wanted to get in at least one more class during my first week. I used to do Bikram Yoga on a regular basis but hadn't done it in at least 2 years. So I was pretty excited about the Hot Yoga class. It's a 60 minute class in a room heated to 105 degrees. My instructor, Mary Beth, is very slim and fit. I loved her calming tone of voice and that she corrected me with my hand positions. I was separating my thumbs and fingers on a foot hold and she said I should keep thumbs with fingers. It made the position a little tougher but it's suppose to be better for stability. I'm a newbie yogi so definitely want the instruction and correction if I'm doing something wrong.
In the class we did a series of 26 postures. I really liked how the class flowed from position to position. I was a full out sweaty mess. It's a different kind of sweat than sweating from cardio like running or biking. You truly feel like you are sweating out toxins and opening yourself to a restored, renewed you.
