Hot Yoga

Craig's girlfriend, Kim, gave me a 30 day pass to the yoga studio up the street. I get up at 5:40am for a 6:00am class and get back a little after 7:00am before Duane leaves for work (and hopefully before the boys wake up). It is "hot" yoga, in that the room is 98 degrees with 60% humidity. Wow! The first day I got lightheaded a few times, but made it thru surprisingly well, considering it has been almost 2 years since I've done yoga, and never in the heat. I found out that the heat really helped me be more flexible. The second day the class was a "flow" class - each pose "flowed" into the next; it was really hard. Today was my third class and I did better with the lightheadedness, but since I am sore from the first two days, my balance and flexibility were not great.

I really like how much energy I have after yoga. Maybe it's because everything else I do during the day is SO MUCH EASIER than an hour of yoga in 98 degrees! :-P I am looking forward to seeing how I progress over the month.
