HOT YOGA
My very first HOT YOGA class in Atlanta --
"Welcome," she said. "We are working in a room tonight heated to 105 degrees. Let's begin."
I know I panicked. I was going to be the one carted out -- the only one in the history of the HOT yoga school to leave in the first few sequences.
I thought about her informing my ambulance driver:
"I saw her face get really red and then she just left all her senses. Went down really clumsy. She chirped. It was really weird."
The class would talk about how I was the idiotic imbecile who didn't know limits.
I can remember thinking of my smoker friends. They would have definitely died.
MY second HOT YOGA class --
I went back for a second class. This time Phil instructed in a Chicago Cubs t-shirt and biking shorts. He corrected several of my poses and I'm sure he thinks I'm an idiot after he told me twice to place my left hand on my left thigh -- that it actually took three times and him to actually come over and place it there for me -- I'm sure he thinks I'm a screwball. Anyway...it is a heated room and you do lose your mind -- in a good way :)
