YOGA

When I lived in New York City I used to get up in the morning, especially in the winter and take a Bikram Yoga class. Bikram Yoga is also called Hot Yoga because the room it is practiced in is heated to a dry 110 degrees. It used to wake me up, get my blood flowing, and help keep me warm against the city winter.

Since I have been in LA I have not done yoga for two reasons. Reason one is that it is so hot out here that if I get my blood that warm in the morning it is just too hot. The second reason is because the studios out here aren't the same atmosphere as the ones in New York City and they are not nearly as relaxing.

Yesterday I realized that my local gym has regular yoga in the mornings and so I went to class to see how I liked yoga outside of the heat. Turns out, I have really missed yoga a lot and it felt really good to get back into it. I went again this morning and it just feels great to stretch and release all of the bad energy that we carry from traffic and stress.
