Namaste my a$$

We went to Bikram Yoga Bellevue tonight, and what an experience. I know I said I'd take pictures, but there wasn't really any opportunity. I must say, it was quite an...erperience. If you're not familiar with Bikram Yoga, here's a two-bit description: it's 90 minutes of Yoga poses in dim lighting, a 120 degree room, and like 50% humidity. Some people have described it as 90 minutes of Hell. Obviously, I'm not sure I'd equate that time with eternal damnation. And, really, once I got in the room, I thought to myself, "This really isn't so bad!" Then we started. And I thought to myself, "Okay, this is tough." We had our first water break (there were three). And once we started again, I thought, "This sucks. I might faint." And I had to sit down quite a bit. Seriously, Bikram Yoga kicked my butt. Totally kicked it. Who knows how next time will go?

I'm not going to say I loved it. But I didn't hate it. And I'm certainly not apathetic toward it. I guess I'm just witholding judgement until I go a couple more times.

On our way out, we chatted with a gal who just completed her 20th session. She said she loves it, but she's still not really used to it. She said it hasn't really gotten easier for her...just different. Not too encouraging to me. What about those of you who have done or do Bikram Yoga? Does it get any easier?
