Ever wonder why the hot yoga challenge is 30 Days?It takes at least 30 days to change an old habit and replace it with a new one.
In 30 days of hot yoga, what new habits can you expect?
Recently I attended an exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art called, "Outsider Art."This was the collection of the Boronskys, a couple who saw genius expressed in art by people considered "fringe" members of the times in which they lived.
The art included charcoal-dust drawings by a coal miner who had no other art supplies; room-sized mosaics from bits and pieces of flotsam ranging from broken jewelry to toy soldiers; small-scale cityscapes rich with architecture made of spray-painted gold and silver chicken bones; mobiles and whirlygigs that connecting an artist to healing energies from outer space.
Many outsider artists lived in prisons, insane asylums, even on the streets. They were not medicated and thus, they were free to feel and express their vision.
Is that crazy...or genius?
The latest fitness secret that's piqued everyone's interest is Peak Fitness.Peak Fitness is a form of exercise that works you as hard as possible for a short burst of time, and is followed up with slower, more relaxing movement. It's all the rage.
Hot yoga had this system down to a science over 50 years ago. Hot yoga is finally being proven by modern day science, but we hot yogis already have our proof, in our results...
We love it when you guys do a 30 Day Hot Yoga Challenge.It's one thing for us to tell you how much you can transform your body and your life; it's another to watch it happen. What's even better is having our students write about their hot yoga experiences.
Not a bad way to look at the 30-day challenge. But honestly, it doesn’t take 30 days. It takes just a moment: that moment in which you set the intention to do something good for yourself, to incorporate hot yoga into your life. Come every day for a month, or just drop in on occasion, but once you’ve made your mind up to do it--wham! Yogi.
Hot yoga seems extreme, right? It’s hard to argue that it isn’t: 90 minutes of pushing yourself to your limits in a 105-degree room? Not for the faint of heart. But it isn’t reserved for the über-athletic or ultra-flexible, either.
Give us your tired, inflexible, overworked and overtaxed, beaten down and stressed out, and we'll light a fire under you.That's our promise at Riverflow Yoga.
It's tax season; just add that to your usual pile of stress. You may arrive with all sorts of physical and emotional issues, from low back pain to low moods. And right away, you're in the right place. In my 15 years teaching and practicing hot yoga I've seen a wide variety of issues...and a great many hot yoga miracles.
Our responsibility as Riverflow hot yoga teachers is not just to deliver the hot yoga instructions, but to guide you safely into the person you want to be; to do so, we hold you in a delicate balance:
