Love that pic, msbelle!
Great pic! And a nice haircut.
Wouldn't he do better to taunt you with, say, an introduction?
That would be SO CRUEL.
Some people love it -- it's yoga done in a roon generally heated to above 100. Warmth loosens the muscles and generally allows people to get into poses deeper. Some people also believe sweating gets toxins out of the body.
I had a boss who did it while trying to get fit for her wedding, and lost tons of weight (she wasn't big to start with, by any means, but ended up like, a size 4) and LOVED it. She said it was really tough to start with, but was addictive after a couple sessions. The results were tempting, but I tend to be super heat sensitive...OTOH, I like saunas and stuff, sometimes, and don't die, so....I keep contemplating and not doing.
I like saunas and Jacuzzis, but I like to LOUNGE in heat, jump into a cool pool (or step outside into the night) and return.
I don't like MOVING in heat.
I sweat like a trucker during regular yoga, I can only imagine I would drown myself in a hot yoga class.
I hate heat so the only advantage I can figure from hot (Bikram) yoga would be that focusing on the heat misery would distract me from the yoga pain.
I had a friend who became obsessed with hot yoga, and she too lost a lot of weight. I would only lose weight with hot yoga because one can't eat while passed out.
-t - I forgot to say thank you for the headsup about the Bee Haven. If I manage to make it to Davis on my trip, I hope to add that in. I really liked my tour of UC's Bee-Friendly Garden. [link]
