I started hot yoga nearly 4 months ago, I joined up for 3 months intensive course of going 4 – 5 times a week and went down from 63 lbs to 55 lbs. I’ve been on holiday the last 2 weeks and so missed class but so far havn’t put any weight back on & also ate well on holiday so no dieting has been involved at all. I’ve gone from a size 8 – 10 to 6 – 8, (am 5,4″) although still feel I need to lose weight around my middle & thighs.
One other odd thing – both me and my friend since we started hot yoga together have had cravings for chocolate which we never used to get. I read that Bikram was supposed to ward off unhealthy eating habits so not too sure if it’s just us but would be interested to know if anyone else has found this!
Sadly I don’t have the time to get to my hot yoga studio more than once a week now so hoping just practising the moves at my local gym a few times a week will keep the weight off but oddly have noticed as soon as i stopped the hot yoga the chocolate cravings disappeared!!
