Just finished my first hot yoga class. it was definitely a challenge, to say the very least. First off, it was billed at a "hot gentle stretch" class, which is what I usually take, only not hot. Our instructor is an older woman, a bit on thenew age-y side but sweet as pie (without the crust, of course). I knew that the hot stretch class was taught by the owner, who typically teaches level 1 and level to vinyasa flow but i didn't expect it to be a level 1 class! It says on my schedule "12:00 hot gentle stretch" and i got hot level 1! Not complaining, mind you, I enjoyed the workout, it was just more than I was bargaining for, especially at 105 degrees.

I'm hoping next month I'll be able to afford to join the Y. I really want to swim!
