Loving being back at Bikram’s Hot Yoga

After much deliberation I accepted the fact that I needed an off-day from my Crossfit training. In lieu of my typical WOD I opted to get back to Bikram’s Yoga (after all I’m paying a monthly membership fee which I haven’t been using). The workout was great – if you haven’t tried it yet, picture yourself doing yoga in a 40 degree Celsius/104 Fahrenheit room (very sauna-like). At first it was tough, but got a little easier as I progressed through the next 90 minutes.

I now have 4 weeks of Bikram’s yoga classes under my belt. How am I feeling? Amazing! My flexibility has never been better, my core strength has gone through the roof, and my speed and endurance has improved drastically. Who would have thought that sitting in a hot box of a room and sweating for 90 minutes while trying to touch my toes would be so empowering? LOL ;-)

The people at Bikram Yoga, Whiterock are extremely warm and welcoming. I think they could tell I was somewhat nervous being my first class and all. I would recommend visiting them in a heartbeat if you are keen to try your first yoga experience. They made is somewhat pain free, at least until I had to try and touch my toes. ;-)
