i've been doing hot yoga two times a week now for the last month or so. i think i'm liking it altho when we go through some of our sun salutations, i cant help but feel frustrated as my legs slip on my yoga mat. i'm debating whether to wash it, (acknowledging that i'm going to NEED to at some point, considering how much i sweat) or to just buy a new one. i fear it somehow coming apart in my washing machine, or worse yet, causing my washing machine immense grief. i've heard that washing it makes it less slippery, but i'm not sure. some people are using two mats and i'm going along merrily with my $14.99 winners special which was fine up till last night.
the past couple of nights she's been running the humidifier. i've been sweating like a BASTARD the last two nights. in fact, it was so bad that i was dripping off my chest and neck, face, and my inner arms. disgusting. yes, i know, sweatting is good for you, but when you are constantly slipping off your mat or are becoming distracted by salt dripping into your eyes, you know you might have a problem.
i've been sweatting a lot more this week in my exercise classes, too. i seem to be the only one with this problem. sandra thinks it's because i'm in good shape, whereas i think there has to be another reason. i dont consider myself in good shape by any stretch. trying? yes. there? no.
regardless, despite the sweat and issues surrounding it, i'm enjoying hot yoga. whether i'm making any progress remains to be seen. i figure it's a good sign of progress when she doesnt come by and correct me as much as she did in the beginning. that, to me, is progress.
