A few weeks ago my mom mentioned that she wanted to do “hot”
or Bikram Yoga. When I asked if she had
ever taken a regular yoga class, she said no.
She has only done the Yoga DVDs she has at home. I suggested that she take a regular yoga
class before the hot yoga just to get used to the poses, and to know what to
expect. Since you can bring a guest for
free to my gym, I offered for her to come along with me.

My lower back has been bothering me for a few days so I’m
hoping this will help to stretch it out.
I can’t wait to do some cat & cow poses!
The class was packed so we ended up finding a spot in the
back corner. It started out very fast
moving, which I liked, it really got my heart rate going.
I think the teacher was adding in some yoga fusion/pilates
type things, which was good. She did a
few moves that really worked my arms and core.
She even did 5 minutes of ab exercise near the end. My abs were burning!
At the very end of the class, we meditated. Luckily, I had taken this class before, and I
knew that the teacher goes around to every person in the class and places a
scented tissue over their eyes and massages their temples. I warned my mom about this before the class
because I didn’t want her to freak out!
Now that I’m getting into yoga again, I really have to put
my Living Social deal to use. I bought a
deal for 5 yoga classes at BSC in OCTOBER, and I still haven’t scheduled
them. I miss BSC so much, you think I’d
be dying to go back there. Truth is, I’m
just lazy and I don’t like to plan my workouts.
