I went to this Yoga studio today, it was Bikram Hot Yoga. So I like the poses and the pace, it seems like it would be a good program. The only problem is they run the thermostat at 104F (I asked and this is what they told me). I made it 60 minutes of a 90 minute class and bailed, the heat was absurd. Doing yoga is a sauna just does not seem healthy, which sucks because I liked the actual poses, etc. The only good thing about the heat is half the womens were in bikinis and the room was about 80% womens, but even for this I don't think I can take the heat.
Has anyone done this hot yoga. Can anyone tell me why 104F makes any sense. I understand you want to get the muscles warm, 90F would do this or you could put some clothes on. It was packed so I guess people like it, maybe it's just me. If you want to get ready for St. Croix 70.3 and you live up north maybe this would make sense.
