Well today is the day that I thought would never come - I did Yoga!  You heard me right, I, of all people did Yoga.  And all I can say is “wow!”Who came up with the idea of stretching and holding poses in an insulated room with temperatures at 105* F (40*C)?  Hot YOGA it is!  It not only sounds crazy, but it IS crazy!  But you know what?  I feel phenomenal.  My lower back especially feels looser and the nagging pain in my S.I. Joint is feeling somewhat relieved.  I’m not gonna go as far as to say I’m cured, but I swear that my body feels quite a bit better after my first class.The people at Bikram Yoga, Whiterock are extremely warm and welcoming.  I think they could tell I was somewhat nervous being my first class and all.  I would recommend visiting them in a heartbeat if you are keen to try your first yoga experience.  They made is somewhat pain free, at least until I had to try and touch my toes.  During the 90 minute class we completed the following postures:Standing Deep BreathingHalf Moon/Hands to Feet PoseAwkward PoseEagle PoseStanding Head to Knee PoseStanding Bow Pulling PoseBalancing Stick PoseStanding Separate Leg Stretching PoseTriangle PoseStanding Separate Leg Head to Knee PoseTree PoseToe Stand PoseDead Body PoseWind Removing PoseSit-upCobra SeriesFixed Firm PoseHalf Tortoise PoseCamel PoseRabbit PoseHead to Knee with Stretching PoseSpine Twisting PoseBlowing in FirmI have signed up for a week and a half of classes and will let you know how things are progressing throughout.Posted in Health & Wellness Tagged: bikram, hot, moose, postures, stretching, studio, whiterock, yoga
