Bikram Yoga
I will personally kick anyones ass who says anything to the effect of “Yoga is for pussies.”
Now that’s not to say Bikram Yoga is super intense… but it’s far from easy.
Today I took a Bikram Yoga class. It’s 26 yoga poses conducted over an hour and a half. The key to Bikram though is that it’s done in a hot room. We’re talking 32 degree’s celcius.
I’m a warm room kind of guy. I like being warm and absolutely hate being cold. Thus I thought that I’d be fairly comfortable in this room. Was I ever wrong. The class had already started when I opened the door. I was greeted by the hottest room short of a sauna that I’ve ever been in.
5 minutes in I begin sweating.
10 minutes in sweat is dripping down my forehead.
20 minutes in I remove my wifebeater due to it being soaked in sweat.
By the time the class had ended I looked like I had just gotten out of the shower.
Stepping outside of the classroom was honestly one of the most relieving sensations I’ve ever experienced. And yet it left me feeling very limber and refreshed. I don’t know about the benefits or anything like that but I’d definitely recommend Bikram Yoga for stress relief and to just try something new if nothing else.
After a short break and lunch we then went and did a leg workout for an hour and a half and afterwards my legs were absolutely jell-o. I was in an amazing mood though and I could feel the testosterone rippling through my veins. I’m going to sleep like a baby tonight all thanks to this workout.
I think I’m going to get more into it. Cheers to fitness.
