Love Today

This morning, I woke up early to attend my first hot yoga class at Yoga Flow in Shadyside. Vinyasa yoga is based in fluent poses with high heat to maximize movement. I must admit, I was nervous to try this advanced style of yoga! Working out in a room just under 100 degrees intimidated me. 


As I walked into the room, I felt my body loosen as the heat warmed my joints. Beginning with meditation and a series of vinyasas allowed us to slowly assimilate to the heat. The poses grew more challenging, and the studio, increasingly sweaty. Just as I thought my body could not lose any more water through perspiration, the class drew to a close, just as calmly as it began. 


What an experience. I loved it! However, words for the wise: hydrate before and after class!! Also, do not make plans after your class. I guarantee you will want (and need) to go home to shower following your experience.

Tomorrow is Monday and the work week begins again. Need a little pep in your step to start the week off on the right foot? Here is a video for your listening and viewing pleasure. In no time, you'll be dancing too. :) Enjoy!
