Oh it IS very cathartic!! I would definitely recommend doing it a studio first. In the studio, you can’t leave unless you’re close to death. The goal of the first class is to just stay in the room. Even if you’re just lying on your mat the whole time, you’ve accomplished something huge! In my first class, and in others, there were times when I just felt like “I’ve GOT to get out of here!!!” But after a couple of minutes that feeling passed, and I stayed. Once you finish your first class, you have such a feeling of accomplishment!! And for every class thereafter as well. Go for it!!!

I love the idea of this. There’s something about sweating a lot that is very cathartic. I am also thinking of doing it in my backyard. In the summer in Phoenix, it’s 105-115. I’ve heard that the studio is 40% humidity. Our outdoor humidity is very low, less than 10%. Any feeling on how that might affect things?

That’s exactly what I said at first, Kelley. The last time I did it, my hair was COMPLETELY wet, like I’d just gotten out of the shower. Totally disgusting. And I’m going BACK this morning!! I laughed so hard at the hot coals comment. Why can’t I be as funny as you? Damn you Kelley, and all of your awesomeness.

Thanks!! I did it again yesterday, and the heat was absolutely brutal. I think it may have been hotter than 105. Everyone was sweating buckets. And yes, just get out there in your backyard and get going!

Motivation is so hard to come by sometimes! I just happen to have a bunch right now. I hope you can find a class and at least try it once. It’s definitely an experience!

I’ve always wanted to try that. I find it really hard to motivate myself for classes these days. I have a small window when the “kids’ gym” is open at our YMCA and there are a few classes during that time that I’d like to try. Yet I never seem to get there at the right time and I generally end up on the treadmill. No Bikram at the Y – but maybe a local studio… It’s on the list.
