I've tried it and I loved it!0

Done it a couple of times and really, really liked it. I felt very zen at the end, and was able to get deeper into my poses. Great addition to the routine!0

Hot yoga is great, but I don't recommend it unless you are already in decent shape (strong heart!) and you don't have any history of fainting. I went twice before I was working out regularly and when I was heavier and it was horrible. I was seeing stars the whole time. I am willing to give it another shot now that my heart is healthier but I still worry about fainting. I've fainted twice in my life and neither time was during a workout.0

That's what I love about hot yoga... the heat helps you stretch your muscles to dig deeper into your poses...

I've been having a hard time finding fellow yoga enthusiasts, anyone up for being MFP buds? Most of the people I bring yoga up to think I'm crazy. I get a lot of "yoga isn't a workout, it's only stretching"..... UGH0

I have a biggest loser yoga dvd that I do at home. Anyone who says that should try doing that...0 -
I love it. I started going in June last year. It's amazing the difference the heat makes to my flexibility0

How hot is the hot part of yoga?? degree wise..0

Absolutely love it - i feel so clean after, and it's sort of a spiritual exercise also. I feel better about my body, my achievements, and I'm more gentle to the world afterward:)
My neighborhood is getting a new hot yoga studio, can't wait!0 -

Agreed. I do the p90x yoga and its pretty killer, get made fun of by my power lifting friend...... but at least I can scratch my back when it itches 0 -
If I want hot yoga, I'd do yoga in the middle of summer in south Louisiana! almost as hot and even more humid! LOL
Just kidding, I feel faint if I stay too long in the shower!0 -
I've never tried this. Is this done in a sauna or something?0

Do guys do this?0

I have the DVD too. I really like it! He certainly doesn't take yoga lightly!0 -
I love and live for my regular flow yoga class, but I'd really love to try a hot class too. I just need to find one at the right time for my schedule. I agree that it may not be great for someone just beginning to work out. When I first started working out many moons ago, even regular yoga left me sweating and worn out.0

I have been doing yoga for years, but I never have been able to increase my flexibility to the degree that I have since I started doing hot yoga. I feel like it has done wonders for my muscles!0

How hot is the hot part of yoga?? degree wise..
The one I've been going to gets to be about 103 Degrees 0 -
Do guys do this?
Of course!!!!
there are at least 5 guys in every class I go to.. young and old! 0 -
I've never tried this. Is this done in a sauna or something?
No, but it feels like it! They heat up the room with small humidifier-looking things. Not quite as hot as a sauna, but it really gets you sweating. I loooove it...0 -
I have done hot yoga a couple times years before I really got into a regular yoga practice. I'd love to try again now that I am actually a novice yogini! Hm maybe when the semester ends...0

I love yoga, hatha, vinyassa flow, iyengar style (never done a whole iyengar class, but I have done extended poses with binding)I've been having a hard time finding fellow yoga enthusiasts, anyone up for being MFP buds?

I'm pretty anti bikram though... I have a whole rant against it... it's perfect for a small portion of the population, not for everyone.
sending you a friend request! I love yoga dudes, I can't get my husband to go, in spite of degenerative neck damage that I guarantee would be improved by yoga0 -
Anyone who thinks that yoga isn't a "workout" is doing it wrong! :P
I heart yoga...for real!0
