i used to go to my gym.. but they canceled my class so i quit my gym. i need a new place to go to...

if you find a place then let me know.. i just might join youone day

[miss.myra]

That would be fun Chewy! Do you like hot yoga?

[Chewy]

umm... i dont know... ido like it hot.. but i havnt tried hot yoga yet... power yoga is good... idid it for about 5 months.. based on breathing and balancing.... some days it really made me sweat though... and some days iwas really sore...

yes.. we shall do the yoga thing one day...

[mindgurl]

I heard hot yoga is super fun. Try Bikrams. I think they let you try your first class free. I'm pretty sure they have a website with info.

I'd imagine most gyms offer yoga classes these days. I prefer pilates though which I do at home with dvd's. :-)

i appreciate the atmosphere of the class to... the ambient music... and when you have a class of 10 peeps that all know what to do ,, well it is very relaxing.. at the end of the class.. you lie on your backon your mat. and breath .. i fell asleep 3 times.. i woke up everyone was looking .. iwas like "ahh shit"

Myra - we should have Yoga and Tennis night one day next week. I will have more time next week to do all these fun things.

I will help you stretch your leg behind your head. Hehe...

[miss.myra]

Ya yoga would be great next week! Tuesday evening would work best for me most likely.

I've tried to play tennis a lot, courts are always full everywhere :( suucks!

Well will go to the ones where Salim likes to play, and yoga before? or after?

If you're looking for hot yoga myra, there is the bikrams on 12th and cambie.

I think there might be another one down on w. georgia.

[miss.myra]

Definitely not doing bikram's on cambie @ 12th because they have carpeted floors and that is just GROSS. They have another one on alberni downtown and few of my bro's friends work there, just don't know if i am ready to commit to that much hot yoga.

I do my yoga alone in the forest.

[Chewy]

well.. it would probly be very relaxing ... that would be a good place to do it...

Im so down for whatever... yes even tennis ms Avana!!! Personaly my favorite was a yogo/philates infusion class I tryed. So it takes the fun of both and combinds them.

Oh and myra... Im looking for any ex-gymnist such as Adrienne and yourself who may want to try the adult drop in at Flicka!?!

I went to YogaPod in North Van (close to Sea Bus) and it's a pretty cool place. I liked the hot yoga classes a lot - they are intense, but you feel amaaazing after! Here is some info: http://www.yogapod.com/

weird, myra, i was just cruisin' by this forum to post on how amazing and blissful i feel because of my recent yoga addiction and how great my studio is.

i know it's not downtown.. but my studio on the drive is most excellent.. great rates.. amazing teachers etc... the first class is free, so you should come try one out with me sometime!

it's not "hot yoga".. but they offer a lot of vigorous power-style yoga.. ashtanga and vinyasa get you pretty darn hot and sweaty just from the exertion.. the hatha stuff is awesome.

i am going every day for the next four days so just let me know if you want to try it.
