| - I asked myself, what is hot yoga?
I pictured a tiny wooden room for 10 people with steam everywhere and women in bathing suits awkwardly stretching.
...It turns out hot yoga is pretty fun, relaxing, and not impossible for yoga newbies!
I went to Yoga Tree today, it was the second yoga class I have ever taken. Yoga Tree offered a reduced heat level 1 class which got up to about 32 degrees (I guess you could call it warm yoga), perfect for someone who wants to ease into hot yoga.
I was spot on time for class (meaning late).
The staff was incredibly welcoming and didn't make me feel like ass for being late.
The changeroom was bright and clean. I'm still weird about not wearing shoes, so the first thing I look at is the floor.
The studio itself was small and packed full of serious yoga faces old and young.
The teacher was very friendly, funny, and helpful. I found some of the poses challenging. (Note: I know nothing of yoga, I'm clueless most of the time and just do what everyone else seems to be doing).
I did find the space cramped.
I understand that the online registration is supposed to help manage class sizes, but I did bump into the person next to me a few times.
Then again, I was late, so it's partly my fault I didn't get a great spot.
And there was a point where other people's feet were all over my mat.
I'm really not into other people's feet.
Also, I feel like the old asian dude behind me had his face in my butt, I just focused on holding poses and not falling down.
Overall, I thought it was a good class, but I wish I had more space to stretch! :)
