Hot Yoga

Hot yoga is some kind of normal yoga done in a room heated to about 100 degrees F. There are several kinds of hot yoga. I don’t care what the brand or program is, they are all good. Probably not something you want to do in the middle of summer, but I recommend hot yoga to many people because it’s a great energizer in the middle of winter and it really moves the needle on flexibility and strength.

Hot yoga is hard. It’s an endurance activity. The first time you do it, you’ll be surprised how exhausted you are after just 30 minutes. You need to pace yourself, dial back the moves, and drink plenty of water. You start as a beginner and slowly, incrementally, work your way into the class of regulars, who seem to be able to do the impossible. After an hour of hot yoga, everyone is completely drained. Half an hour later, everyone is super energized to go out and seize the day.

Hot yoga is great for everyone, especially those who don’t like outdoor endurance sports, especially in winter when it’s hard to get motivated to go outside and exercise. If you give it a try, you might find that you look forward to your weekly group and you won’t feel right without a hot-yoga session once a week.
