Hot Yoga Anyone?

Lucy – Bikram Yoga anyone?

Ouchh!!! That looks like it would hurt....

Yes it is true; I braved the hot yoga room for the first time, but more than that, I braved it on my own. It's 37deg of Hot, Hot,Hot! For anyone who knows me, I’m not the most courageous person. I don’t do group activities by myself. Yes I’m a real baby when it comes to a group environment. I would never join a club or take part in an activity without a sidekick.

So since Andrew is busy jet setting the globe, what’s a girl to do?

Ok I think we all know that apart from the 1200km that separate us, there is no way he would be involved in any activity doesn’t include drinking (alcohol) and would definitely say no to any form of exercise.

I did however have a few things up my sleeve to entice him to join me.

1:         It’s really like a sauna, the room is heated to 37deg (so quite relaxing)

2:         Men take part in this activity (very flexible men)

3:         People don’t wear a lot of clothing in the hot room

So basically Andrew you can lie around in a sauna watching half naked very flexible people bend over in front of you.

I think this ticks all the boxes to entice Andrew to join in. I just won’t tell him that after my first time in the hot room I am sooooo sore! Even the muscles in my neck hurt.

 I think it may take a while until I'm at this level

I have a 10 day pass & am determined to take my aching body back to the yoga sauna today to see if I can loosen up all the muscles that I had never before used until yesterday.

This is a move i'll be chasing

And this one as well.

So what do you say Andrew, care for Bikram Yoga?

Wish me luck campers Xx

Andrew - Bintang and soda? Are you mad? Everyone knows you don't drink beer with soda water... well you probably should, it might save Sawusband having to buy vodka duty free every time he comes home. Oh Bikram Yoga... right


I can see it now...

Maybe this is just in MY head

And on another note, you make me sound like some functioning alcoholic. (Ignore the fact that as I type this I am drinking one of the aforementioned Bintangs.) But we shouldn't joke about that.


I must agree with you about the group activities though. I've never been much of a joiner either as you well know. I'm beginning to wonder if it's because we like to be the centre of attention. Groups tend to dilute the focus on us and make us talk louder. And even in our little gang of four, the boys have been known to comment that we sometimes act like they're not there. I always thought they were there to provide us with something pretty to look at.


This is what happens when you let them have input... it's like teaching kids to speak.... once it's started you can never close that lid.


Although knowing my athletic prowess, if I was to come with you to yoga I would have no doubt I WOULD be the centre of attention but for all the wrong reasons. And as for talking louder, possibly that would not be great for the other punters trying to find their inner downward dog. Do I even have the right activity????

I am very proud of you my friend for getting yourself amongst the peeps and into some lycra action. So I shall support you from afar on this one. And to show my support, I'll have another drink and toast your new found flexibility, God knows Sawusband will be pleased.

Bottoms up darling... and yes that phrase works threefold......
