Even though I am way behind everyone else, I always feel as if I accomplished something. <br /><br />It's "hot" yoga which means they heat the studios 90-98 degrees with 60% humidity. <br /><br />At first you think it's unbearable but after a while you look forward to it. And just think, it's cooler than it is outside. LOL.<br /><br />PS Don't try yoga off the tv. That's for people who already know what they're doing. Going to a studio not only keeps you motivated, but there's someone there to show you when you don't have the pose right.<br /><br />And don't let anyone kid you.
