I chose to do hot yoga because I desperately needed some flow in my life. I felt very stiff and rigid in my movements. It felt as though my muscles were atrophying. I was becoming very stiff and not being able to move like I wanted
I was also really done with being cold. So hot yoga sounded nice because I would be able to get extra warm and be comfy cozy. I felt that it would be a nice change to get this flow that I hadn’t felt in a long time.
However, it wasn’t only that, it turned into so much more. It ended up being very detoxing, being able to release my emotions. I can’t tell you how many times I have cried during hot yoga. releasing things I didn’t even know I was holding onto. I loved being able to release those emotions in a very natural way.
It was a very cathartic experience for me to let go of those negative emotions. I allowed my body to let go of what was once held in my organs. I also love it for the sense of community we are all in there together in this hot room and we are able to just let go and be ourselves and show up in the space that we are.
I mean, some of us can’t do the poses so we go into the child’s pose and rest there until we are strong enough to get back up. It’s very motivating because as you look around you see other people doing it and having that more positive self-talk and that’s very healing for me.
I also loved the balancing pose at the end. Every yoga teacher comes by at the end and puts on either
I also started because I wanted something that was just for me. Something that got me out of the house and helped me to get out of my own head space. Its been very beneficial in that way. Hot yoga to me, is just a way to connect my physical body to my spiritual body. Hot yoga helps me to recognize the areas that I’m weak in and helps bring them out so that I can strengthen them. What you don’t know, you can’t heal and you can’t change from it.
Yoga is a great way to bring out those things in me that I didn’t know were trapped but were hurting me and not doing me any good. In the short couple of months, I’ve been doing hot yoga, I’ve seen huge changes in my emotional wellness and balanc.
My physical body is stronger and able to do poses that I didn’t think I would ever be able to do again. I feel how my body is getting stronger and I want to treat my body nicer so I’ve been doing things like being more health conscious. I have also been helping my body to have the liquid that it needs and the rest that it needs. I highly recommend hot yoga because it is very healing and a natural way for release.
I hope that someday you’ll also be able to experience it. If you already have, I’d love to hear your experiences with it.
With love,
