Too Hot for Home Practice…
I’m obviously not a Bikram gal. It’s been in the 90s here this past week and I have no air conditioning. Why? Because normally the weather is a lovely, balmy 70s during the summer in my part of town. But it’s been getting hotter lately (global warming?)…too hot. Some nights it’s stayed in the 80s all night, unheard of here. My home has become an oven, and my yoga practice has gone right out the window.
And I feel it too…I feel like my body is turning to mush. But perhaps that’s just partial heat exhaustion.
I spent the day at the beach today cooling off. Finally, this evening, the ocean breeze kicked in and there’s cool air coming through my windows. Hurrah! It will get back down to a normal high 70s this week. Phew. Hey, that’s crucial when you live in a home that has central air.
Once you get out of the habit of doing daily home yoga, it’s hard to get back into it sometimes. So this is timely: Gaiam contacted me about a new online home yoga program with Rodney Yee, called the Gaiam Yoga Club…so I’m checking it out and will be reviewing it here. I’ve just logged in this evening to take a peek, and so far it looks pretty comprehensive and yet not too overwhelming. I really need something to get me motivated now…I don’t want to lose all the progress I made during my teacher training.
