For those who dont really know, i took up yoga classes during the first month when i was here. Went for a month and took a 3 week break since Jiang and my folks were coming... And started going back for them since last friday...

The yoga classes i go to are called Hot yoga. They put u in a heated room that goes up to 40 degrees celsius and then you do a series of poses and postures and by then end of the 1 hr lesson, you will definitely be drenched with sweat. Its like... Exercise and sauna... cool, i really like it. I used to think that Yoga was "lame" and they just do weird postures and stretching and it doesnt work at all... gee, how ironic that im so pro-yoga now...

To those of you out there who scoffs at the idea of stretching as a form of exercise, i dare you to try out the triangle pose (trikonasana) and hold it for a good 3 minutes. It helps the back muscles, the legs, the hands and yes... the kidneys...

Well, yesterday i went for another type of Hot yoga class called Hot flow. Its on every Sunday and its 1.5 hours... its a miz between power yoga and hot yoga. Its more advance and there's just non-stop changing of postures. No breaks, no time for you to cool down, its just continuous and it really tests your endurance...

"Lying on your back, Put your legs up 90 degrees for 10 seconds, then lower it to 45 degrees for another 10 seconds, then continue by putting them up at 90 degrees for another 10 seconds then immediately lower them 45 degrees to another 10 seconds... dont put your legs down on the mat, put them up again at 90 degrees...." Never seen my tummy shake that much from these abs workout...

I came out panting and wheezing, great workout and now my entire body is just filled with aches... especially the shoulders and the back and my thighs...

Yea..., i like...
