    That yoga is badass.. It makes me feel like puking.

    I do normal yoga now. Its much more enjoyable for me. Some people swear by Bikram. My old boss, used to try to get me to go, but she would always tell me I had to wear a bra top and short shorts. I find it hard to work out like that. She told me she took her sister, and the guy in front of her sister had a tiny speedo on, and kept sticking his junk in her face. HAHA.

    Yoga is a great work out regardless of the type. It makes you feel so strong. Enjoy!

    I had a friend who got into that for a while, and she lost so much weight so fast. Then, in the middle of class one night she was doing a pose and just fell over in blinding pain. Turns out, her appendix ruptured and obviously it was unrelated to the class, but after that happened she just could never go back...lol. She had a mental block against it.

    I think the heat would give me a migraine. Though, I am curious to try it.

    Thats horrible for your friend!

    In my yoga class there is the one lady who is really annoying. She tells the instructor through out the entire class, how to "improve" the class. She's very annoying and seems to stop the flow of the class. I do think with Bikram, you tend to have people focus a bit more because when its that hot, you really have to be aware of your breath, and work hard to keep your poses. I think with other types, some people who are more advanced seem to get bored, and want to be the instructor. This woman in my class is such a know it all. I cringe when I get there and she's already set up. Last time she stopped the class to inquire about the instructors experience, and how qualified she was. Not good for yoga! Makes it hard to concentrate.

    oh my god. I hate that in any kind of class! That's so incredibly rude. how did the instructor react to being questioned about her qualifications? I think I'd probably tell her to take a hike.

    She suggested that they speak after class, as to not disturb the other people practicing. But, the woman didn't get it. She just kept making comments, like "Young people think they know everything" "this pose isn't even a challenge" "If I were an instructor, I'd welcome questions and comments"... Such a pain in the ass! I do know the instructed talked to her at the end of class, so I'll have to see next week if she keeps up the crap. This woman should really do a private practice at a Yoga studio. I mean, come on, its a gym.

    LOL! The other night after a few too many I was actually doing some of the moves in the bar! Somehow my balance actually improves the more intoxicated I am!

    I have now went four times and will be going tonight for my fifth! It's reminiscent of family reunions: At first it seems like an amazing idea, halfway through you're not feeling so well and by the end it gets so unbearable you will do anything to get the hell out of that room! Can't believe I'm paying for this!!! j/k It really leaves me feeling incredible afterwards.
