Last night I tried my first ever hot yoga class. I’ve done regular yoga in the past (like 3 or 4 years ago) and have heard nothing but good things about hot yoga, so I decided to give it a try. Holy smokes!!! This class blew my mind - it was like a 90 minute orgasm.
The yoga studio was heated to about 105 degrees and the instructor lead the class through a series of 26 poses & stretches - all of which are done 2 times. At any time you had the option of laying down on your mat if the heat started to get too intense.
When the class started, I had butterflies in my stomach because I didn’t know how well I’d be able to do all the poses. Thing is, the heat helps you to become more flexible and limber. And I surprised myself in what I was able to do. About an hour into the class (it was a 90 min class), I started to reach my peak and the heat was starting to take a toll on me. So I took it easy, laid down when I need to and was able to finish the class.
I walked out of there on such a high, like nothing I’ve ever felt before - and completely drenched (like I’d taken a shower with my clothes on). Honestly I don’t know how I managed to drive home. I think I drank about a gallon of water before going to bed. And let me tell you, I slept like a baby.
Today I’m still feeling the after effects, jelly-like and super relaxed. My whole body feels cleansed inside & out and feels like it used to when I did endurance sports. I think I’ve finally arrived at the end of my recovery tunnel.
