Current weather jokes aside, who's done this? Did you like it better/worse than normal classes?

I love it

Been going 3 times a week for a month now!

I was gonna try to go later today, but I almost passed out playing softball

it'z too hot 4 hot yoga

7/8/2012 3:42:26 PM

I've pondered trying hot yoga, but being hot makes me cranky so I've never made a real effort to actually go.

7/8/2012 4:48:54 PM

I've done it. I like it because when I end the class completely sweaty and near death everyone else is in the same boat.

I have a friend who is obsessed with it. We were planning on going but now she's pregnant so she can't go. I still would like to go. I heard Open Door Yoga is pretty good.

I really like Arrichion because their classes are only an hour long

I'm not sure I could handle 90 minutes of hot yoga right now...maybe when I really get into it and am more comfy with my poses I could try a 90 min bikram class

7/8/2012 7:20:50 PM

Where is this shit at? I am trying to Bikram

I did martial arts for a long time and that shits not for me really. A bunch of my friends are doing krav maga or whatever now, not for me.

i've only done hatha, which is very basic...but man, i felt so good after doing it for a semester (twice a week)

it was ridiculous how even that limited amount helped strengthen muscles i didn't even know i had, helped me lose weight, and reduced/eliminated muscle pain (which, admittedly, stemmed from lifting poorly and bad posture, among other things)

i want to get back into it

11/14/2012 2:31:24 PM

I wanna get back into it...the unlimited membership (which is what I would use because I went to like 4 classes a week) is too expensive for me right now.

Hopefully after the new year I can get back into it....I felt so good while I was taking classes

yoga is pretend exercise for fat rich people

What on earth makes you think downtown Raleigh is a smart kid?

11/14/2012 3:03:33 PM

^^ where? and why does she do it for free?

i really want to get into a routine...like gym 2-3 days per week and yoga 2-3 days

[Edited on November 14, 2012 at 3:04 PM. Reason : .]

11/14/2012 3:04:26 PM

aren't you only supposed to do intense stretching like once every 3 days?

^^^^yeah where?
also is this shit not recommended for beginners? I've done yoga before but not bikram and i would consider my experience a 3... on a scale of 1-100

i mean, i did it on tuesdays and thursdays and it didn't bother me

you shouldn't do the same muscles every day, of course

11/14/2012 3:06:33 PM

you can go to Open Door...it's donation based

11/14/2012 3:07:16 PM

You should stretch often often unless you're in the middle of doing intense strength training

Because then it adversely affects muscle build

Stretching every day is good

what does a "regular" yoga class cost? open door suggests $15/class donation

Quote :

"Stretching every day is good"

true...but he noted "intense"...i would assume that by intense he is referring to stretching muscles that are weak and in need of work

and in that case, i assume you'd want to avoid "intense" stretching of the same muscles every day

It's alright - did a 90 minute class, got bored around 60. Did Vinyasa back in the day which was a little easier. (Time aside)

I'm very heat tolerant so that didn't bother me as much. Sweat a lot obviously, but normal yoga usually makes me sweat. Loosened me up a bit more than regular yoga or p90x yoga.

11/14/2012 3:13:36 PM

I read, did vanessa in the back that was a little easier

ah, that's what i was doing! i thought it was pure hatha, but that's not true...it was definitely vinyasa

Why are there do many different types of yoga and do the names mean anything specific or are they arbitrary

11/14/2012 3:18:12 PM

Bikram is like sauna yoga. idk what all this other shit is

most of them share movements and positions, but emphasize different end goals

Will it align my chakras? Will it strengthen my Ajna Chakra enough to not need a bindi?

my gf goes to open door, she tries to get me to go

i like yoga and i really think i'd like hot yoga but the way she describes that room doesn't make me think anyone (including myself) will appreciate a 6'3" linebacker-sized (but not shaped, haha :sad dude taking twice the space anyone else does
