This is how we handled a 6AM 30 day hot yoga challenge day one.
Hint: Only one is a morning person!
Amy and I signed up for a 30 day challenge and for month of April we have to attend a hot yoga class everyday. Although we have occasionally and sporadically practiced
hot yoga for years now, we knew that 30 consecutive days of spending at least
an hour in a 37C degree room while trying
to balance on one leg was going to be hard.
Short summary of day one in power hour 60 minute class:
"The class kicked off at 6:02AM and the sweat
started almost instantly, dripping onto my mat before we’ve finished the first
exercise. By time it was half way through the class we must have done at least twenty
flows and I was ready to just lay on my mat and pray for it to be over. With (some miracle) and determination the final savasana was called and I was thankful for it as everything (including my eyebrows) was sweating and the room was finally stopping to spin."
This will be a long month but I am excited and determined to make the most of this experience. We will post before and after shots and our finding once we make it though 30 classes.
Have you ever done hot yoga?
