I’ll join in!! Being a shopaholic and a yogaholic I have a whole drawer full of bikram gear. Last year in the post Christmas sales, Lululemon in Melbourne had a great sale and I walked out with a large credit card receipt and two full LARGE bags of gear. I did 2 60 day challenges this year, plus a regular practice in between, meaning my outfits were washed at least once a week along with my 4 ‘mat’ towels and the 4 ‘shower after’ towels. I have to report that they all still look like new and were worth the investment 100%. My husband is in the gym 5 times a week and our washing machine is going every single night. Well worth it tho! We manage to avoid the dryer when ever possible. I have done back to back classes and change after each class because I can’t stand the thought of another 90 mins in the same stinky sweaty clothes. And then there are the days when I do a 6 am and a 6 pm class… and have double the laundry those days as well…. the things we do for our practice.

I usually practice at 6 am…. and have been known to leave my yoga gear in the boot of the car all day, in 35 C weather! The studio is on my way to work, no time to drive back home to put the gear in the laundry, and get ready, to then sit in traffic for another hour in peak time! I can’t justify bringing them into the office to share the smell during the day!! And the thought of getting into my car after class without a shower is repulsive… I do a lot of driving for my work and have a brand new car with leather seats… the last thing I want is stinky sweaty leather!
