That's what I always heard it called. Hot yoga – I guess because it is really hot. Everybody just sweats all together and it really doesn’t even smell bad! My yoga place, BYD (Bikram Yoga Davenport), calls it Bikram Yoga. I started doing Bikram Yoga nine months ago – could have birthed a child during that time, but instead I did Bikram Yoga and supposedly birthed a new body for myself! Well, anyway I digress, but today I did yoga in the perfect Bikram Yoga room of 105 degrees and 51% humidity with Lisa instructing me.

Lisa is awesome. She makes me laugh so I forget that I still have 60 minutes of the 90 minutes left in my hot, sweaty, backbending class. She corrects me in the sweetest way, convincing me that I can stretch juuuuust a little fuuuuuurther so I can help my body get better, better and better, and get all the medical benefits of this sweating, and bending, and torqueing. And she thinks life is fun, and that we should all laugh and enjoy sweating and bending. I like Lisa.
