Bickrum yoga (i have no idea how to spell it)

Sooooo today i tried out bikrum Yoga . Since a whole cult has sprung up around it in our class since one person tried it and now eveyones like oooOHoooh soo cool!
So if you dont know what it is its baisically a type of yoga except it is done in a 40 C room. So it baisically feels like your doing yoga in a sauna, so yes it is tiring. Anyway the place they found is really good and the price is also bearabe. zou can also rent a mat and towels, they have showers and changing rooms and the place is huge! it could fit around 25 people i think so it was fun. The first few mins are pretty scary and you think (well i thought )i was going to faint but zou get used to it, and if you start feeling crappy you can lie down for a while. the sessions are pretty long 90 mins but its worth it as im now in great pain and i dont think ill move anywhere for the next week.
so i put together a little list of what you could be usefull if you would try B.Y

  • Bring 2 towels , 1 to put on the mat so it dosent slip, and one for the shower
  • clothes to change into after ! very very important
  • a bag to put your smelly clothes in
  • shower gel, and slippers
  • A BIG bottle of water
  • a yoga mat
  • If your going the first time position yourself somewhere in the middle or back of the room so you can see what the people are doing infront of you so you dont do it wrong, but also in a place where you can see yourslef in the mirror to know if your doig it right.
  • Eat 2 or 3 hours before so your not hungry but not full.
  • stand FAR from the heater as it will make your life hell if  you stand by it as i just experianced
  • always breath correctly.
  • Dont try it if you know your the fainting, panicky, heartattacky person!
  • bring food for afterwards
  • Go with friends, its funner then going alone 
and i think thats all :)
