Son of Hot Yoga

ben_adler · January 20, 2009, 12:38am

Hot Yoga take 2. This time the class will be Wednesday, January 21st, at 9:30pm. Please arrive at the yoga studio at 9:00pm to ensure that we all can get in. This is a 60 minute Powerflow, the same kind of class as last time but 30 minutes shorter. Don’t worry, it will be plenty of workout. Sometimes I think the 60 minute ones are more intense, because they try and squeeze in more. Maybe that’s just my perception.

3863 Rue St. Laurent (right near Schwartz’s, above the pharmaprix)
$10 (plus $2 for mat rental, so borrow someone’s)
Bring TWO towels, shower stuff, and AT LEAST one liter of water. Hons should bring four.
60 minutes of sweat.

Let’s try and get 10 people this time!

I’ll try anything once

leslien · January 20, 2009, 2:24am

Ben, is it still 10 bucks if we’ve already been?

ben_adler · January 20, 2009, 2:33am

10 bucks for the cycling team, every time. oh yeah.

celeste_snediker · January 20, 2009, 2:41am

Ben, mind if I come?

ben_adler · January 20, 2009, 4:41am

i think we could sneak you in there.

celeste_snediker · January 20, 2009, 12:56pm

Thanks!

thomassorbara · January 20, 2009, 6:21pm

I think I’m going to give this a whirl
sounds like fun…can more than 10 come?

Hons · January 20, 2009, 6:49pm

Unfortunately I can’t make it this week. But I’ll set up a space heater in front of my trainer instead.

thomassorbara · January 20, 2009, 9:17pm

…also, I looked on the website and it says the powerflow is not recommended for beginners…seeing as I have never done yoga will this be a problem?..has anyone else done this class before?

John_Turtle · January 20, 2009, 10:22pm

Have done, was my first yoga, you’ll be able to do it but don’t push yourself.

ben_blake · January 20, 2009, 10:33pm

definately come thomas. it is tough but it isnt insane, just give’r

ben_adler · January 21, 2009, 3:30am

yeah, just try it. And if you feel like you’re gonna pass out, just lay down until it goes away. you’ll see, it’s not ridiculous, and you only have to push yourself as hard as you want to.

thomassorbara · January 21, 2009, 4:26am

ya I will definitely give it a try…
one more thing…I have asthma…does anyone think that will be a big problem with the heat? does it get really humid and hard to breathe?
thanks

mariana · January 21, 2009, 5:14am

Hi Thomas,
You can definitely try it anyway.
BUT it does get humid, and I have seen some people in class with their inhalers next to them. Maybe it is a good idea that you bring it with you to class just in case.
Hope it helps!

Jason_L · January 21, 2009, 3:29pm

oh goody, me and the extreme heat don’t get along very well :shock:

ben_adler · January 21, 2009, 7:08pm

it’s not extreme, it’s like 30 or 35 deg. C

cyrus · January 21, 2009, 11:50pm

its amazing, everyone who hasn’t tried it should DEFINItely go.

i would too, but i am so viciously hooked on LOST that i can under no circumstances miss the season premiere.

ben_blake · January 22, 2009, 12:11am

Cyrus I was having a big debate whether to go to yoga or watch lost, and lost got the cut. I hope I can download it later tonight, it is going to be such a good episode!!!
