"I fear I'll topple over during one of the poses... The main reason I'd like to go is also what's holding me back...my decidedly average sense of balance! I think I'll brave it though....." Count yourself lucky you don't have big boobs I'm just afraid I'll prove how stiff I am when I wouldn't be able to get into position...so to speak | |||

"No going back now... Decided to attend a hot yoga class... New shorts and vest are being dispatched.... Hopefully they'll arrive by next Saturday! I'm going to be so rubbish - will endeavour to arrive early and take up my position at the back, away from any people and mirrors!!" I don't do hot yoga as I can't stand heat. You will be able to stretch further as your muscles will be warm but take it easy for your first session. I started doing yoga because I have Meniere's and fall over a lot. I used to have problems controlling my breath too. Yoga is great for both. I love my class because we have a laugh and it keeps me flexible. Remember, it's not competitive. Enjoy. | |||

You're very right.. I hope to gently explore what my body is capable of and hopefully improve my sense of balance.. My ankle feels a bit sore, otherwise I'd have gone tomorrow. I hope I can commit - for at least 6 months - part of my massive list of new year resolutions! | |||

Hot yoga may not be for you. Find another teacher/class and try that. I hated it when I tried 20 years ago because large sweaty classes with a teacher using the Sanskrit for all of the poses doesn't work for me. I attend a small class with lots of one to one support as my teacher will adapt routines to deal with particular injuries or problems. | |||

"Ive done yoga for years. Great for your body and mind. Lovely way to practise relaxation, calming etc, and you will become more supple. Balance improves quickly, though I sometimes wobble, but everyone is focused on themselves, as it is not competitive. Sit at the back of classes till you increase your confidence there. Totally recommend it for what youre looking for. " Thank you...feel good about it after that message | |||

"Just go hit the gym! ...get all your frustrations out through those squats and deadlifts. That will do the job. Trust me. Well, it does for me. " It's not the same at all. Plus guilty wants to work on balance and yoga postures are good at achieving balance. | |||

Can you stand upright, feet together and still (no swaying) with your eyes closed? If you can you are half-way there. | |||

"Has anyone here tried hot yoga? I'm looking for a way to de-stress...as well as develop balance and flexibility and tone my muscles a tad. It's around £10 a session here in Solihull/Birmingham... Are the benefits worth it? Or should I just buy a DVD ...which will probably just gather dust!! " buy any babara currie dvd the woman is amazing and progress to hot yoga there are sessions near jewellery Quarter but its quite advanced good luck | |||

"I started running recently and my PT advised yoga as a way of getting better stride length to increase pace. I have no balance or rythmn and I love yoga. Find a friendly class and everything just works. " I have little rhythm too - in fact I'm particularly rubbish at the dancing games on the xbox - for now at least! | |||

"Yoga is fantastic . It's about practice not competition . It will assist with your balance x I would not do hot yoga I think it pretentious, what tiny little extra suppleness one may achieve is negated by the impact higher temperature excercise can have on the body and heart . One to work up to not start with. My advice for calm and balance is to always stand in queues on one leg . " Lol, I fear I may look like I either need a pee or am about to have one!! I'll see what next Saturday's bikram class is like and look for others that I feel I may connect with in the mean time. | |||

"Luke overcome your fear x Ignore what people my think humans do a lot of silly things because of, and don't do many positive things because of what others may think x Yoga is about daily practice not once week class xx " That I understand - I'll have to try and make time...I have football twice a week and am also trying to squeeze in the t25 training at least 3 days a week too. I need two of me...or at least one very disciplined version | |||
