So hot...it will make you sweat

What a salacious title for a blog post! All you people out there get your minds out of the gutter. Just because of pictures like this don't think this isn't hard work. What am I talking about? Bikram Yoga.

What is Bikram Yoga? It's a series of stretches, movements, and endurance training done in a room heated to around 100 degrees F. There's nothing like sweating out all the toxins in your body. I ventured into Funky Door Yoga on my own and they convinced me to sign up and try it a couple of months ago.

I can't say that I totally love it. The classes are still pretty tough, especially those of the 6am variety. I can say that it has made me feel a ton better throughout the day, my back no longer hurts from hours of working away furiously on my laptop, and my abs are finally starting to come back (well sort of anyways). I don't like Bikram as much as martial arts training, but when I don't have to the time to do that, yoga is a great alternative.

If you've never tried Bikram before, make sure you don't eat anything and drink a lot of water the first time you go. I literally started seeing stars half-way through my first class and had to step out of the room for a minute. Try Bikram out, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
