Yogans


I've been lucky to take part in many different types of yoga, and variations of yoga/pilates fusion classes. When I want a good workout, the best of these classes is Core Fusion at Exhale spa in Dallas. Unfortunately, its not the same experience as genuine, Eastern, traditional Yoga. You feel a little bit of zen in these types of classes, but it is nothing like the traditional teaching. I went to Heat Yoga a few days ago, and it was a great experience. I felt so great after the class was finished, I plan on becoming a member of the studio. Its not only a physical sensation, but a relaxed mental state that goes along with it. Heat yoga is the class where they put you in a heated room, and you do ninety minutes of traditional yoga poses that originated all over in Asia. There isn't music playing in this class and the lights are on. This doesn't turn off the type of people who value genuine yoga. The people in there are all shapes and sizes. They are avid students and aren't just in the class for yoga. They are people who have found a form of inner peace because of this part of their life. I would love to become a real part of this community and plan on doing so.
