Anyway, this post is not about her! it is about ME! I am doing this bikram yoga thing and I HaTe it! i hate the heat! I think I will never last the 90 minutes! I hate how inflexible I feel when I compare myself to others.
but I also love it. I love that I feel almost no stiffness or pain the next day. I love that there are people I know and love running the studio (Mission Yoga Yo) I love that a bunch of my friends go. I love that I am kind of loving the sweat. I love that I perceive myself to be more flexible and healthy in the coming year.
Thanks Juicy and Steve and Cat and Julia for forcing me to join this kult of Yoga!

One of them! One of them!
Sweating is a sign of health. People who don't sweat are called robots and need to drink more water.
yay for sweat! |

HEY Kudos to you! I know what you mean by hating something you know you love and is good for you! I just joined a 24hour fitness finally, after complaining that I need it to feel good. Haven't been to a gym in 2yrs!.... and I am an avid fitness freak!
It's good to sweat....you're sweating out the toxins. Eventually you will begin to notice how energized you'll feel. It's getting through those 1st 2 wks of anything you have to do consistently. Once you make it through those 2wks...it will become a routine. GOOD LUCK! |

Oh Sweating is never an issue and always an issue for me. M, you probably would be like that woman next to me in class. And you probably are all bendy and everything. But I would only hate you for a minute. I promise.
Seks, come to the Kult of Yoga! You are so close. You would be so fun to have in class. i could make funny faces at you. Lisa, good for you girl. It is this "Yes we can" attitude that is flowing through the masses! |

funny sweater
I don't like the poses in Bikram. More into Hatha or just regular downward
dog sorta moves... I found my fat ass couldn't even do half those Bikram moves... Bikram was not a large man and wasn't ever built like me so I think if he was he's make the moves easier. I don't mind the heat- that part is cool!! |

Actually from what i understand, and i could be wrong, these are hatha poses.
They are frigg'n hard for me, well most of them, right now. But I think in a year I will have settled into them more. I ain't no tiny woman so I understand what you are saying p-raw. |
