A Reminiscent of Indian Yoga Plus A Hotter Than Hot Class

It had been so long since I tried the traditional indian yoga class. Since heeboon has gone for holiday (lucky him!), a new teacher was brought in to teach his class. He teaches the very traditional indian yoga. Very much he will just do the pose and you have to follow. Not much of verbal instructions on alignment. He was very soft spoken and even the people on the first row had problem hearing him. Plus his accent made it worst. It was an ok. It reminded me of the previous indian yoga classes that I have been to with all the stretching exercises in the start.

He also demo-ed crow pose and then go into Lolasana and then to handstand. His handstand is the traditional style with the back arching but not those that we do with the back straight.

On Saturday, I woke up early and bright ( thanks to dear dorothy… hehe ) to attend a hot class greatly raved by another yogi. Oh my goodness… it was soooooo hot! I am not a fan of hot yoga classes…. never have been. I perspire a lot, just normal class is enough to get me perspiring. This class was yoga flow in a hot class. And it included inversion of headstand also ( at the wall for me, of course ). We did a revolved half moon, and when I lifted by leg, my perspiration was dripping from my hair in front of my head like a tap… in usual class, it drip.. drip… drip… in this hot class, it was dripppppppppp…driipppppp…. like from a water tap which you forgot to turn off…

And, yes, when I came out of the class, oh, how sweet and delicious the outside air was!
