Hot Yoga?

My cousin said she just took a class of this, what is it? And where can you take it?

Re: Hot Yoga?

I went to one class like 2 years ago... I didn't like it then, but now that I'm more into getting my old body back after having a baby, I'm dying to do it again. It's real yoga, but youre in a room that is super hot.. I think 90 degrees, but I can be totally wrong on that. The first class is free to see if you like it or not. I went somewhere on 347...my sister drove so I have no idea what town... SORRY I'm no help LOL. Do a google search and I"m sure ton will pop up. I think it's a great body cleanse as well...

Re: Hot Yoga?

its hot as hell. i went once in dix hills. intense.

Re: Hot Yoga?

I go regularly to the one in Massapequa.

It IS very intense, but I love it.

There, you pay $20.00 and get 10 days of unlimited classes to test it out.

You need to go IMO at least 5 or 6 times before you decide if you like it or not.

I have been going regularly since February and still have good days and days where I feel like I am going to die.

It is perfect for beginners, or non-gym people though IMO.

I have noticed a lot of positive changes in my body with only going 2-3x a week. I am starting to get very tone and have lost some weight.

You should not eat 2-3 hours before going to class. Try to stay away from fast food too during the day LOL. Drink lotsa water throughout the day as well.

I have also found I do a lot better in late afternoon or evening classes vs. morning classes. (I think because my body is more hydrated then).

Re: Hot Yoga?

I also go to the Massapequa location and love it. While it is very hot (usually around 105), your body will get used to it. I sweat like no tomorrow but now that I have been going for months I do not feel like it is hot as Hates anymore. The first couple of weeks the heat was overwhelming---just gotta push through it. It's a series of 26 poses that are done 2x each. The hold for each pose varies from 20 seconds to a minute. The classes are 90 minutes and really the biggest goal is not to leave the room in that time.

I usually get there 2x a week, sometimes 3x. It has also helped me with running and my breathing.

I love it! I go to the Bikram yoga in Carle Place! I feel so great afterward...I wish I went more!

Re: Hot Yoga?

It's really hot in those hot yoga rooms. I did it for about six months, 4 times a weeks and absolutely loved it! Of course, it took me a while to get used to it - I had to leave the class and go outside cause I would get naseous from all the heat Plus, my face always looked like I had a sunburn after class But it was really a great experience once I got used to the temperature
