| - I took my first hot yoga class today! In my 17 years of life, I've done yoga maybe 3 times. So this was a new experience.
I took one of the $5 classes at 4 pm and it was awesome! It's hot yoga. You will sweat a lot. I don't enjoy sweating, it makes me feel gross and I'll tolerate it for exercise but just chilling outside in 80+ degrees? Nah, not fun. However, in this class I was drenched in sweat but I had so much fun. It was fast paced, you move from one pose to the next in a flowing motion- while trying to breathe in rhythm to your motions! It's an awesome workout. And the cold lavender towel at the end felt so good. With regards to being a beginner, there were some poses I could not do- but that's okay! You can modify the poses to ones that you are comfortable with.
I was planning on going to get dinner and then showering at home, but I didn't realize how sweaty I would be. The showers have body wash, shampoo, and conditioner! So I took a shower and felt so much better- though next time I'll bring clothes to change into.
The studio itself is very cute and cozy; my instructor Kris was great, and the class was an awesome experience.
The $5 classes are a great way to try out yoga, and see if you like it! You'll leave exhausted, but that's a good thing.
