The Fun & Funny Fitness Bitch: Hottest Yoga Ever — The 101 on Hot Yoga — Everything You Need to Know
Fitness Bit #51: Hot yoga, a dude named Danny & a sweaty bikini
Doing it like Danny
I’ve done yoga, but that evening was the first time I experienced 26 poses of yoga plus 2 breathing exercises — in a room hot as flaming hell with 30+ scantily clad strangers. The temperature was cranked up to a steamy 40 degrees C (104 F) — geared to make people perspire — faster.
This style of yoga was on my fitness bucket list for a few years, so I signed up for a 10-class pass to check it out. I placed my yoga mat on the hardwood floor at my assigned spot. The room was quiet, dark, and humid. While lying down on the mat, I did a few stretches, alone with my thoughts, and waited for class to begin.
Danny, the yogi instructor, entered the room, and the lights flickered on — disrupting my peaceful meditation. The fluorescent brightness and Danny’s booming voice weren’t what I expected.
This isn’t a typical yoga class with the calming voice of a yoga teacher gently guiding you as you meander through each pose in a candlelit room with serene background…
