I have to admit it! As much as they annoy me, especially Kourtney Kardashian's lazy worn out Valley Girl voice, I am so hooked on the Kardashian's. The new Miami serious just came out and I'm addicted. I need serious help! Who else is addicted and can't seem to stop watching these people?
I dare you to count how many times Kourtney Kardashian smiles in the next episode! She comes across as so uptight, she is the one that is hard for me to watch and NOT ENJOY!
Anyway, enough about the Kardashians. I have to share my Bikrahm yoga experiences with you!
A while back, I attempted Bikrahm Yoga. I lasted 10 minutes in the room and I had to get the hell out of there. It was over 90 degrees in the room and I couldn't breathe. But this time, I told myself I was going to stay the entire class, even if that meant laying on my mat and just meditating while feeling as though I was going to have a heart attack! LOL..YES! I mean I am fit but this is whole different ball game folks! Have you tried it?
One of the things I didn't like was that the instructor basically barked the poses instead of actually doing them with the class (that by the way was wall to wall people, the woman to my left, guy to my right was so close that if I extend my arms, I'd knock them upside the head on accident). She didn't have a soft soothing voice the cue, something I'm use to. It was very militant since she has the poses memorized. They are always the same and never different.
When we began the warm up, there was a breathing warm up. I have to tell you something, this part REALLY freaked me out. As soon as she commanded everyone to tilt their heads back and breath their air out, it was if I was in a horror movie. It scared the crap out of me. It sounded so scary and WEIRD! I didn't like it!
I was trying to enjoy myself. I tried to focus on what I was doing, my breathing, holding poses what have you. It was a bit difficult when I had men that had no shirts on and hairy backs facing me. To make matters worse hairy backs, with sweat just rolling down their backs making the hair look more like a wet dog. Men that take yoga and that's it, Bikrahm develop an odd stomach. It sticks way out and is a solid odd look. This is why you can't just do ONE THING when it comes to fitness, you must mix it up!
The smell in the room was gross, someone kept farting to my right. I just don't know about this! It was one guy's first time, he wore SWEATS! He was so hot in those things, he needed to get out of the room. The instructor literally wouldn't let him leave and talked him into staying in her militant voice.
There was nothing Zen like about this experience for me. I think there would've been had the instructor use more SOOTH / SOFTNESS in her voice. So next I will try HOT yoga. Temperature is a little lower than Bikrahm and I'm hoping the instructor will actually do the class and have a ZEN LIKE voice.
And there you have it! (hope you got a slight chuckle).
