I took my first ever hot yoga class last night at HYU taught by Effie! It was the hatha class and I can't say enough good things about my experience. When I walked in the door (probably looking lost and confused) I was warmly greeted by the staff who gently guided me through the sign in and paperwork and told me briefly what to expect. I popped my shoes off and headed into the heated room. I was surprised that 100 degrees with 40% humidity felt comfortable. The class was great- no judgement, great encouragement and although I thought I was going to die at some points- I made it through and did every posture! I can't wait to go back again! I've never done yoga that's felt like so much of a workout- and I'm excited to continue my practice at HYU
