Hot yoga: Too hot to handle?
I've recently signed up for some hot yoga classes due to an irresistibly cheap deal and some vague idea of improving my health.
However, now that the post-sweet deal high has worn off some, I have some concerns. I've outlined them on my blog, but in short, I'm pretty sure I might be A) Too much of an inflexible wimp, and B) That loathed person who has to leave the heated room to pee halfway through the class due to overhydrating and weird neurosis (As soon as I know I'm not allowed to pee, I totally have to).
So, any advice from 20sb hot yogis?

I have friends who do it and love it. I personally don't do yoga because I'm worried I would fart in a weird position...and I'm a wuss who doesn't like heat.

I like regular yoga, it's easier to hold poses if my hands aren't super clammy :) But many ppl swear by Bikram, give it a try, since you hit a special, you hopefully won't feel you wasted money if you're not a fan

Ah, see, my hands are clammy at the best of times, so I'm hoping that since everyone is supposed to be all sweaty for these classes the poses will accommodate that?
If not, I'll probably slip and die.

They usually recommend to bring towels... I think that has a big part to do with it, lol.

I'll admit, I thought this was like porn yoga. Hah. I've never heard of hot yoga, but I do love regular yoga. My wife taught me a few years ago and her mom taught her! It's so relaxing and feels great once you get into it. Even though I still fail at most poses!

Ha. That's pretty much the only thing that could make it more terrifying! But no, thankfully we will be keeping our clothes (or some of them) on. We're specifically doing Bikram yoga, which I guess is just one kind of hot yoga.
I fully anticipate failing at most/all poses. Glad to hear I'm not the only one!

It's fantastic! It's totally more relaxed than you think, and nobody's going to look at you funny if you have to go pee. You won't be a little wimp, and I can prove that just by saying that you signed up. Nobody who is wimpy would have ever signed up for that kind of class.
Go for it! =]
