Just came back from my first class at Moksha Yoga. Well, it was everything I figured it would be. I was hot and sweaty, and by the end I loved every minute of it. All of the staff were friendly and informative. The room was indeed hot. Perhaps ridiculously so, but I got used to it. Actually, when I first stepped in I thought the heat was tolerable. It didn’t feel like it was particularly harsh. And after last week’s heat wave I figured that I’d manage well enough. As I was lying down on the mat, beads of sweat starting to form on my forehead, but nothing felt out of the ordinary. It really wasn’t until we started doing the poses that the effects of the heat really started working their magic. I was sweating profusely. My shirt became soaked fairly quickly.
There were a few moments where I really had to watch myself. Some pose changes caused a rush of blood to the head leaving me a bit light headed. I didn’t want to risk passing out, so at those moments I stopped, breathed in, and recollected myself. I can totally understand why they tell you to bring a towel to just cover the mat. By the end of class my towel was drenched. It was both gross and glorious all at once. I walked out of the room feeling refreshed, and feeling like I could conquer the world. As of this point, the happy chemicals in my body are still flowing around. The whole thing went so well that I took advantage of an introductory offer that gives me unlimited classes for one month for $40. Considering the drop-in rate is $18, that’s a ridiculously good deal. The studio is close enough to home that I can try to make it in after work when possible. I’m going to work the heck out of that month. I know that I can. I’m no longer afraid. Let’s do this!
