I do not understand how people do not sweat when they work out. Especially in a 90 + degree room. For 90 minutes. Today when I came out of my Bikram class, I was drenched in sweat to the point where my hair was slicked back, my clothes were soaked and I looked like I had walked through a storm without an umbrella, while there were women there that had dry hair, and only looked mildly dewy.
Bikram Yoga is a type of yoga that is done in a hot room (about 90-100 degrees) for 90 minutes. You are not to leave the room and abstain from drinking water for the first 25 minutes of class. You do 26 postures, with two sets of each one. The standing series is an hour and the floor is 30 minutes. You sweat balls.
I love it.
Today was my first day back at Bikram in about five or six months. I got so busy with school and work that I just couldn't find the time. I've been doing yoga since I was thirteen when I found out that I had Scoliosis. I found Bikram when I was seventeen and have been doing it ever since. I tried going back to other forms of yoga because the cost is so high in the city, but I couldn't. I can't achieve the same feeling after that I do with Bikram. I feel like I get a much deeper stretch and it's like getting an intense workout while stretching and strengthening all in one. And it work wonders for my back. And works as a stress release. The benefits are so numerous. I really like the challenge and the heat doesn't really bother you once you've been practicing for a while. I've decided that I need to pick a day and time and just go religiously to keep up with it. I've missed it.
