Gonna Make You Sweat--Whether You Like It or Not

So yesterday, my friend and I tried bikram yoga. For those who don't know, bikram yoga is basically regular yoga done in a room that feels as if you are walking on the surface of the sun. There's no other way to put it: it's balls hot. And you're doing all these crazy awkward yoga poses, trying not to look like a complete dork next to all these people who look like they came out of the womb in the downward dog, and all the while, you're also concentrating on not passing out.

Sounds fun, no?

Surprisingly, it is. Actually, maybe fun isn't the right word. Perhaps torturous would be more accurate. But when you leave that room, I am telling you, you are the most relaxed you have felt. Like, ever.

So, like everything in life, it's something of a trade-off.
