So I went to my first hot yoga (Bikram Yoga) class today. I've always wanted to try it, today was as good a day as any, so I signed up and I hopped on the TTC and away I went.
The basic idea is you do some yoga poses (26 altogether in a 90 minute class) in a room heated to 40 degrees. What they did fail to mention in the brochure is that all the ladies doing this class are hot. I do not mean they're hot because it's a 40 degree room. NO, I mean they are freaking ripped and beautiful and mostly naked. Unless they're in the changeroom, where they are then entirely naked and talking to each other about "juice cleanses" (I said they were hot not smart). I'd normally judge people for this - in fact one of my roommates (let's call her Cheese) graciously warned me before I left the house that there might be nudity and to be careful not to accidentally touch any old lady bums - but if I looked like these ladies I'd probably walk around naked too. Unfortunately for everyone, the hot yoga dudes do not seem to be experiencing increased hotness benefits. Wah wahhhh :(
So apart from being more than a little intimidating, I am now wondering - is hot yoga going to make ME that hot?! If so, you can sign me up for a lifetime membership. Sign me up for 17. I'm reeeeally hoping it's not the juice cleanse.
The class itself was actually alright! Good thing I didn't run screaming from the heat, because, never one to refuse a bargain, I managed to purchase 30 days of classes for $30 before even attending a single class. I am a sucker! Also a good thing because, even if you do get hot and panic-y, they DO NOT LET YOU LEAVE THE ROOM. It is a 90 minute heated prison.
All in all, hot yoga = sweaty, smelly success.
