Have you lost a lot of weight with hot yoga?
I know diet is also a big part of this, but just curious for those of you that go frequently.

Re: Have you lost a lot of weight with hot yoga?
I have changed the way that I eat along with the hot yoga classes. I am down about 15 lbs since mid-February. In addition to the yoga classes though I run 4x a week so I can't attribute it all to yoga but I think it helps.
Have you noticed any changes in yourself?

Re: Have you lost a lot of weight with hot yoga?
Yup. I think I have lost about 7lbs and I also have noticed I really have to change my eating habits on the days I attend class.
I also have been attending class since February.
My pants are baggier.
I wish I had time to run too! I think I'd have to get up at 4AM to get that in though.

I get up at 5:30 to run before work. This is why I only attend the 8PM class once a week. I am too tired!!

Re: Have you lost a lot of weight with hot yoga?
Wow, you're dedicated!
I wish I could do that.
I also am super paranoid about being out alone at that hour though.
I went to Gina's 5:30 class last night and it kicked my a$$.
I usually take Wednesdays off so I should be back at it tommorrow.

Re: Have you lost a lot of weight with hot yoga?
can I ask you guys what type of hot yoga you go to? Is it bikram yoga, or a different yoga in a heated room? I've only been to bikram and have been trying to go back but it's a huge time commitment and i have classes 3x a week.
thanks!

Re: Have you lost a lot of weight with hot yoga?
I think they are pretty much one and the same.
I could be wrong, but I thought a main reason a studio couldn't call themselves "Bikram" was because not all of the instructors were specifically trained under him and trained in his exact philosophies?
I do understand about the committment thing. 90 minutes is a long time not to mention the time to get there and back. I also like to get there early so I can get a spot.

yes you have to be a certified bikram instructor. bikram is a serious of poses - so if you go to bikram you are doing the same poses over and over each time. every time in theory, your practice should improve. So I was just curious because i've only done bikram, but I know there is also hot vinyasa etc. and was wondering if those were the same every time.
sometimes it's just getting over the hurdle of going back too. I was dying to go the other night, but was like well in the 2 hours it'll take up (including travel time like you said) I could do laundry and schoolwork. I just need to get back there because I love it and i feel amazing afterwards.

Yes, it follows the same poses as Bikram. It's 26 poses, each done 2x.

Re: Have you lost a lot of weight with hot yoga?
if you a certified Bikram you have to pay a fee like a franchise. Hot Vinasya is good too its more cardio. I used to go 4-5x a week and your body changes. I saw the biggest change in my waist. No more muffin top!
