Hot Yoga

A while back I started Hot Yoga at Yoga Lounge Montreal and it definitely changed my life and outlook on things. This is basically traditional yoga but practiced in a room that's heated to 40 degrees Celsius.
I always though yoga would be VERY easy, but it's one on the hardest and best work outs I have ever tried because you are using every single muscle in you body, and that's on top of the heat in the room which makes you sweat an incredible amount. The more you get used to the heat and the poses, the easier it becomes and you also carry the practices into your everyday life. I suffer from anxiety, but when I feel an attack coming on, I just practice my yoga breathing and I instantly feel better.
The sweating that occurs during hot yoga helps to flush the toxins out of your body, once all those toxins are flushed out you feel EXTREME guilt at stuffing your face with junk. So in turn that also changed the way I eat, I now prefer more healthy, organic foods.
I really recommend this practice to everyone, I promise you won't regret trying it!
