I thought ashtanga *was* the hot yoga!
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Great pic! And a nice haircut.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Wouldn't he do better to taunt you with, say, an introduction?
That would be SO CRUEL.

Some people love it -- it's yoga done in a roon generally heated to above 100. Warmth loosens the muscles and generally allows people to get into poses deeper. Some people also believe sweating gets toxins out of the body.
I had a boss who did it while trying to get fit for her wedding, and lost tons of weight (she wasn't big to start with, by any means, but ended up like, a size 4) and LOVED it. She said it was really tough to start with, but was addictive after a couple sessions. The results were tempting, but I tend to be super heat sensitive...OTOH, I like saunas and stuff, sometimes, and don't die, so....I keep contemplating and not doing.

I like saunas and Jacuzzis, but I like to LOUNGE in heat, jump into a cool pool (or step outside into the night) and return.
I don't like MOVING in heat.

I sweat like a trucker during regular yoga, I can only imagine I would drown myself in a hot yoga class.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I hate heat so the only advantage I can figure from hot (Bikram) yoga would be that focusing on the heat misery would distract me from the yoga pain.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I had a friend who became obsessed with hot yoga, and she too lost a lot of weight. I would only lose weight with hot yoga because one can't eat while passed out.
