hello everyone 🙂

i am interested in doing hot yoga as a means of losing weight.
since i am new to yoga (i have only tried it by playing the wii fit game with the yoga included), i was hoping that i could get tips from you.

looking forward to hear from you guys! 🙂

you could choose to take a non heated beg yoga class first, pick up up some dvds or…… you COULD just go for it lol and head straight to the hot studio

Hi Bev

I agree with Amy. Go to class! There are literally hundreds of great hot yoga success stories on this forum many, many of them concerning weight loss. I am sure they are all genuine! 😉

Have fun and come back and tell us how you are going

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂

not at all… that is why I am saying to just go for it 🙂 if you want to. Hot yoga is a class for beginners and the experienced because as you go along you learn more and go deeper. Each and every pose can be done by anyone at different levels. though your pose may or may not look like the person next to you just do what you can in each pose and learn as you go along. ask the teachers, other students, and come to the forum 😛 to ask questions and get help
