The heat adds a mental challenge--that and the occasional classmate passing out, but it's otherwise pleasant but challenging. <br /><br />"Hot yoga" means different things to different studios so it will be worth shopping around if the first place you try isn't great.. Bikram takes "hot" seriously and keeps classroom temp at 105F (at least at the studio I went too). For my taste, this is pushing the envelope and I didn't love that they used the same sequence of poses in every class. My favorite hot yoga has been a 95F vinyasa flow class.Paragon2Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16186204100704440304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-17698321028361088882014-09-24T21:32:14.934-05:002014-09-24T21:32:14.934-05:00Ha, definitely not the only one!

I was the only one there (the class time had just changed and apparently no one else realized it) and I seriously <i>blacked out</i> because I was holding 1 lb. weights and moving them in tiny circles. I had to fall to the ground, put my head between my legs, and wait for my vision to come back. The teacher ran over, coached me through my mortification, and then checked back in with me every 10 seconds for the rest of the class. I can't believe I went back. So I still get a huge kick when one of the teachers now calls me out for doing something really well :).LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-6604801354140964402014-09-24T21:25:21.305-05:002014-09-24T21:25:21.305-05:00Glad I'm not the only one who almost fainted i...Glad I'm not the only one who almost fainted in Bar class at the beginning.

The kid might just have EXCEPTIONALLY good genes. :) Everything about your first paragraph screamed "gymnastics" to me. He'll come home tired for sure! He's not too young to start the Hershey youth track meets, either. Those are now called "Run Jump Throw" and run through USATF I think.

You're a Texan used to 100 degree heat (or as "used to" it as you can be) and you're comfortable with yoga in general. After first time at hot yoga I left shaky and a little bit nauseous, but after I had a granola bar I felt better. Drink a ton of water the day before you go, and I think you'll be fine.Portiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01319767548482677457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-74766587047048348752014-09-24T06:47:24.122-05:002014-09-24T06:47:24.122-05:00I do hot yoga, and love it - I think as you're...I do hot yoga, and love it - I think as you're use to warm climates, fit from barre, and doing the DVDs you'll be fine - just take it easy. Our teachers say the goal the first time is just to stay in the room - lying on your mat as if in a sauna if it seems too much. But given your fitness you will probably find the class no trouble Like to the Larkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000851468722770032noreply@blogger.com
