Power Yoga/Hot Yoga Classes

The sultriness of a 'Hot' Yoga class. Thats what is on my mind right now. What started as a one-evening class becomes a great experience to remember.

The walls were painted 'Red' in color. Went to the reception, the lady had this calm face and a fit body.

Me and J entered into the main room where 'Yoga' classes are conducted. The room was very hot, it was heated to 100F. First we felt like 'OMG' where the hell did we come. Why did we leave our material comforts and come here. Why be in 100F, when you can be in 70F at home relaxing. But we later realized the meaning.

So, continuing my description of where i left off in the 'Hot Yoga' room, the slow moving fans and the dim lights reminded me of a second class compartment in India, where there was no A/C, and my mom used to say, 'Wait till the train starts, you will get cool air'.

We spread our yoga mat and because of the 100F, we become so alert and the room was filled with people. Its as if we are in this rat race where everyone wants the great benefits of Yoga.

There was no room to spread the 'mat' properly but no one cared. Everyone wanted the 'Release' of tension feeling that you get after a 'Hot' Yoga class.

You start appreciating life much more after that class.
