Sweat Fest


I know ... gross name, but that is one of the many things that occur during a session of Hot Yoga. I have now been taking hot yoga for a month and feel great!

Instead of rambling on forever about my experience, I have found information on the benefits of taking part in a Hot Yoga class.

- The class occurs in a 37 degree room that allows you to stretch like you have never stretched before. Have a hard time stretching those hamstrings? I promise you after three classes you will already notice a difference.

- Working in a hot room elevates your heart rate, leading you to work that much harder than you would in a normal yoga class.

- Supposedly all of that sweating that occurs during the workout allows your skin to detoxify, which is always good in my books!

- Last but not least, Hot Yoga helps your body to relax. I drive an hour and a half home from work everyday ... usually in the snow and the minute I step into that heat I feel the stress disappear right away!
