What's the pose that makes you look like a T? That's the one I hate the most. Don't wear cotton, it'll just soak through and stick to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1793130 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 20:28:25 +0000 skibobrown 1793130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to do hot yoga a ton. Now, not so much. I have no time between work and DD. My gear is regular yoga mat, plus special no-skid yoga towel, and a giant water bottle. I usually wear spandex capris, a sport bra, and a breathable tank. Also, a headband to keep hair and sweat out of my eyes was really helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1793122 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 20:25:14 +0000 Blooiez 1793122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I find that when I do it first thing in the morning I was less nauseous and dizzy. I tried a 6pm class one time and that did not go well. The other thing is hydrate hydrate. I had 2 liters of water with me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1793118 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 20:23:56 +0000 Blooiez 1793118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I miss this so much esp bikram but there isn't a place close by!!! I'd rather not drive an hour one way for bikram :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523707 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 16:13:10 +0000 .twist. 1523707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: haha I believe that! Then, if you think you know your body well enough, I don't see why you couldn't try it. Just make sure NOT to fight through any signs and either lay down or leave the studio. I think even people without passing out problems, pass out sometimes. (although, I've never seen it!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523695 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 16:10:39 +0000 Ra 1523695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Yeah, I have tell-tale signs when it's about to happen. I just need to be careful not to be stubborn and try to fight through it. It usually doesn't end well :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523692 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 16:08:31 +0000 .twist. 1523692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: hmmmm. I think that totally depends on what you know your body can do. Hot Yoga can get to ~105F for 1.25 hours. Do you think that's a temp and duration your body could take? </p> <p>I'd probably be a little iffy. Can you tell when you're starting to feel like you're gonna pass out? Because then it may be worth a try, you can either lie down on the mats or leave the studio if it's just not working out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523664 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 16:02:19 +0000 Ra 1523664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to try hot yoga so bad! I have an unknown condition where sometimes I pass out if I get too hot though so I'm scared to try. Worth a shot or too risky? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523590 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:37:55 +0000 .twist. 1523590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: @alohaorchid: HAH. No way! We should definitely do a triple date, that would be amazingly fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523501 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:15:08 +0000 alohaorchid 1523501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: For sure, I'm in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523457 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:04:25 +0000 Sammyfab 1523457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: no way!

It gets a little crowded sometimes, but that's not a huge deal. I'd be totally down for going some time when you're feeling up to it! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523417 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:53:05 +0000 Sammyfab 1523417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I totally looked into that studio! I think there's a location on MacLeod too. I'm also thinking of checking out Yoga Dot Calm. I'll let you know when I'm up for it and we can set a date. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523391 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:44:08 +0000 .twist. 1523391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: AH! We should go sometime! I am going to one in mackenzie town, Breathe Yoga. I'm going with one of my husbands friends wives, but you're totally welcome to join us whenever! I think we'll be doing evening ones after the kids are in bed. :D</p> <p>ETA: also, I'm totally willing to go any other time too :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523361 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:37:25 +0000 Sammyfab 1523361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I used to do hot yoga all the time! I miss yoga but I'm not sure I could handle the heated rooms anymore. Plus, I can probably only tolerate restorative yoga these days. Which studio are you going to? To answer your question though, I used my mat and a regular towel and would wear yoga shorts and a lululemon tank with a built-in bra.</p> <p>@Freckles: you can find yoga towels at Winners or Homesense for $8-10!</p> <p>@alohaorchid: haha...Camel was always my least favourite pose too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523357 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:37:12 +0000 Freckles 1523357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: it's when you're on your knees and you bend all the way back and grab your ankles. I hate it too!</p> <p>It's like riding a bike. My other tip is make sure you engage your core always...bandha bandha bandha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523353 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:36:29 +0000 alohaorchid 1523353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: oh just about the worst pose ever!! I'm a huge baby when it comes to blood and body stuff and I used to be able to do this pose just fine... until I had a teacher who explained something about it cleansing your kidneys and creating new blood flow. I just about passed out and haven't been able to do it since, and it's been 5 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523332 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:32:03 +0000 .twist. 1523332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alohaorchid: I don't even know what camel is!? haha </p> <p>@mrsjyw: @Freckles: @anyajenkins: Thanks ladies! So excited to go back! So nervous that my body is not even CLOSE to as flexible as it once was. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523257 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:16:44 +0000 alohaorchid 1523257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a non-slip mat and a regular towel. I'm way too cheap to buy an actual "hot yoga" towel! Even though they are cute.</p> <p>For clothes, I wear a sports bra, tank top, and cropped yoga leggings.</p> <p>My biggest tip would to be just breathe! Once you get into that room don't let yourself feel overwhelmed because it's been a while, take your time and sit out a pose if you need to. Have fun!!</p> <p>Oh - and skip camel lol! Ok, maybe that's just me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523190 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:02:57 +0000 Anya 1523190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I have a regular mat and a special yoga towel that's the same dimensions as mat. I usually start out on the mat and then roll out the towel when I start to sweat. </p> <p>Take it easy your first day back! Even if you don't feel like you're giving it your all during the class, you will be working yourself more than you think </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523186 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:02:08 +0000 Freckles 1523186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my regular mat and put a towel over it. I'm too cheap to buy a "yoga" towel. I also bring a small hand towel for my face.</p> <p>I just make sure i'm wearing a dri-fit top, so i don't have to expose myself! Same thing for shorts - they'll either be loose dri-fit shorts or booty-like shorts. :)</p> <p>Make sure you have lots of water, and bring extra clothes to change into. Namaste. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523166 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 13:57:12 +0000 mrsjyw 1523166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't gone in years and miss it so! I do a nonslip mat, bring a towel, a huge water bottle of ice, and wear a sports bra and the teensie weensie yoga shorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1523129 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 13:51:10 +0000 .twist. 1523129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where are all the hot yoga addicts?! </p> <p>I used to go to hot yoga once a week a couple years back, but then I got pregnant and now I just haven't gotten back into it. </p> <p>I am signed up for a class tonight and am SO EXCITED to get back into the swing of things. I love hot yoga. But I am kinda forgetting everything I need and the place I go's website is not as informative as they could be. </p> <p>Do you have a non-slip mat? Or do you use a regular mat with a towel? Tell me about your set up. </p> <p>What do you wear? I have a hot yoga bra and little hot yoga shorts. Although, I'm feeling a little self conscious about them since giving birth. Any suggestions? </p> <p>Any other tips would be great to get me back into the ever relaxing groove. :D </p>
