Review Hot Yoga

Last week I finally got to try out hot yoga(Bikram yoga). I was a little nervous about going because I have only done yoga a handful of times, and I am definitely not flexible. But it was a great workout and my arms and legs were burning the next few days.It was also very relaxing and my skin felt great after! The teacher was awesome at explaining exactly what to do, and was very motivating!

I will going back for more classes that's for sure!
