Re: Hot Yoga

It's tough but you are going to feel great after the class! I wish the class near me wasn't so expensive cuz i would have kept going (I did an intro for $20 for a week but after that it's like $25 per class).

Make sure you bring water with you (and drink some before and after).

Bring a towel (you are going to sweat A LOT!

and don't feel you need to do every pose. If you are feeling dizzy at all, sit on your mat and take a little breather and then jump back in when you are ready. I don't think I made it through one whole class without taking a break here and there.

People LOVE it...but I absolutely hated it. I took one clase, and said I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Make sure you drink plenty of water!

I would love to do this but not alone. I asked all my friends and they turned me down.

Re: Hot Yoga

DRINK A LOT OF WATER THE DAY BEFORE AND THROUGH THE DAY. YOU WILL BE VERY DEHYDRATED.

I LOVE it! but as everyone said before me... you MUST drink drink drink water the day before, day of and day after otherwise you'll feel sick and terrible and it will definitely turn you off to the class The more hydrated you are, the better you feel!

Be prepared to sweat!!!!

Re: Hot Yoga

It's awesome! Make sure to keep hydrated before and after. And make sure its bikram yoga. A lot of places say they are hot yoga and its not the same poses. I feel so much better when I go regularly.

you might loose a little water weight from the sweating, but it's all slow stretches, and really meant for flexibility and balance.

Zumba or spin are better for weight loss. (Spin makes your *** look great btw, and once you get past the first few painful classes it's totally addictive!)

Re: Hot Yoga

I DID HOT YOGA LAST NIGHT AND SURVIVED.. I DRANK PLENTY OF WATER BEFORE DURING AND AFTER AND I FEEL GREAT. IT FELT AMAZING FOR THE AIR TO HIT MY FACE THE SECOND THAT DOOR OPENED. TOWARDS THE END I GOT A LITTLE NAUSEOUS SO I JUST LAID DOWN AND RELAXED.

I RECOMMEND EVERYONE TRY IT AT LEAST ONCE!
