Hot Yoga: The 7th Layer of Hell

Somewhere, in this stupid brain of mine, I thought it would be an awesome idea to do hot yoga.  WHY?! Why don't I have good friends that will tell me I am an idiot?! I guess this is what I get for being sassy to them all the time.... Sassy = experience hell on earth. Well now we are Even Stevens, "friends"! Let me just give you a rundown of this lovely (horrible) experience.

-Class starts at 5:30 AM. That means we leave the house at 5:00 AM.  That means waking up at 4:50 AM! 
Whaaaa??...Y'all are lucky there are no caps lock for numbers.

-Get to the place and it smells terrible.  There are picture of Buda everywhere and incense burning in the background. 
I love Jesus and fresh air! This is not lookin' good.

-Walk into the room...HELL. 
First words out of my mouth: "I can't breathe." Little did I know how true those words would become.  

-Oh! There is no talking in the yoga room (aka: Satan's living room). 
Cool.  Because I want to physically abuse my body in silence.  That's exactly what I had in mind....not.

-Guy in a Speedo plants his mat right in front of me. (FYI: he's pale and hairy.) 
Like, really? Is that sanitary? or legal? I'm not sure if it was the heat or the sight of him doing a bending pose that made me almost pass out.  Lord, help this child!

-The class is an hour, right?....wrong. The class is 90 minutes.
  90 minutes worth of hating your life and wishing Jesus would come back.

-The instructor says "clear your mind.  No thoughts, just relax."  
LIKE HELL I'M GOING TO RELAX! I'M DYING OVER HERE, LADY. CALL THE EMT!

-Breathing exercises. 
These people are demonic. Nothing of human nature sounds like that when you breathe. Nothing. 

I don't remember much else because I spent over half the class trying to concentrate on not passing out.  Although I hated my life for 90 minutes, I burned approximately 700 calories.  Not too shabby.  Hot yoga is not my favorite but if it keeps burnin' those cals, I'll keep it around for just a while longer. (Spring Break '12 baby!)

Happy Monday!
