Bikram

The other night I had my first experience of Bikram yoga with my friend Sarah. For those who don't know, Bikram yoga is yoga done in 100 degrees (F). I was admittedly quite reluctant about this experience initially, since I am prone to nausea...or so I say, in order to get gummy bears and sprite out of Mike.

Once you get past the heat and hairy armpits (since Bikram yoga tends to attract the more, shall I say, all natural ladies), Bikram yoga is actually a really awesome experience. According to a series of websites I perused, *cough*Wikipedia*cough*, there are many health benefits to exercising in the high heat.

If you are thinking of doing yoga here are some pointers:

• drink a bucket of water, a literal bucket of water
• bring a towel, a full sized beach towel, this is necessary and you will not only need the towel but you will get made fun of if you do not
• drink a ton of water after the class and the next day

Mike, volcano, string cheese, beanie, apparently this combination makes Mike have crazy person face.
