Want to loose weight??...try HOT YOGA!

Hi ladies!

I know a lot of you are looking for ways to "shed the pounds" to be at your BEST for your wedding day. Well.....you may want to check out your local HOT Yoga classes.

For those that don't know Hot YOga is where you practice Yoga poses (28 poses to be exact) in a room heated at 105 degrees farenhiet, with 60% humidity, for 90 minutes.

This class is so refreshing and relaxing!! When I say you will sweat....YOU WILL SWEAT!! and I"m NOT an easy sweater by FAR!!!, but 10 mintues in ...sweat was literally dripping from my face!!! ...LOVED IT!

I totally recommend this class not only for weight loss, but to keep your stress levels under control during the crazyness of planning, and to keep you sane!! Had I known about this during my planning process, I would have been there at least once a week!

Of course my wedding is over, but I still gots ta keep it tight for the hubsy!!...And tryin to keep my body stress free so that it can welcome a BABY!! Keep your figures crossed and pray for us!!

TTYL Ladies!!

Tash-  You are exactly right about both. It will happen at perfect timing, and YES the detoxification of hot yoga is great.  You just sweat all that junk out your pores, and your skin feels so soft!  It's just wonderful!  Gone head and get back in there girl!!...LOL

Sabrina2279-  Definatley look into it...you won't regret it ! :-)

I have always wanted to try hot yoga, but I sweat like a pig even when I'm standing still on a hot day, nevermind pretzleing myself into 28 pose for 90 minutes. I am positive I would die of heat stroke if I ever tried it. And for that, it's strictly regular Yoga for this girl.

Amanda, try yin yoga - it's an inbetween regular and hot. If you can tolerate that, you can graduate to the hot yoga. I know lots of ppl who sweat like mad who can tolerate it. That is, of course, if you want to! My mom swears by regular yoga and she's a superstar! :)

LOL @ "sweat like a pig even when I'm standing still"..you are too funny!..But I agree with Tash, try the Yin Yoga,and then maybe you can graduate to the hot Yoga.  But the friend that I go with sweats just answering the phone, and she LOVES hot yoga!  She's actually the one that turned me on to it.  You will just HAVE to keep lots of water with you and a towel.  I think you can do it girl!! Goooo Amanda!!

Who knew Yin Yoga existed!?! Not me! I think I'm going to have to look into this. In between is a good place for me to start :) Wait a minute....you wear clothes during this Hot Yoga business? No Way Jose. Imma be wearing nothing but a yoga ponytail and a smile on my face. That's for damn sure.

I wonder if I just made up that Yin Yoga is in an inbetween room lol. My studio used to offer it like that cuz I've taken it, but it doesn't seem that they do anymore. Hmmm - I think I'm getting old...

But either way, try to find a hot yoga studio that offers a class in lower heat. Moksha Yoga is where I go and they have studios all over Ontario. But also, when you first try hot yoga, you can literally do as much as you can while you acclimatize to the heat. You constantly get better the more you go :)

As for Mark, yeah he crazy! Everyone looked at him funny and I almost bet him that he would pass out, but glad I didn't test the determination. He was a walking wet rag getting out of there, but he did it!

Ok I am not completely crazy - phew! http://www.mokshayogaburlington.com/c-schedule.htm

Here's the Moksha studio in Burlington classes Amanda. Vinyasa and Yin classes are in reduced heat rooms :) I dunno which Moksha studio would be closest to you, but if there is one, check it out!

OH MY GOODNESS, I just tried it for this first time on Monday and LOVE LOVE LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is certainly not for those who don't like heat, me on the other hand, like a dream! I also don't sweat easily and let me tell you I was dripping buckets full within ten minutes flat! I felt sooooooo amazing after, almost as though I sweat out all the toxins and nasties from my body! GREAT STUFF ... I would DEFINITELY recommend this to all your brides looking to feel great!
