The twist? You do all the postures in a room heated to literally 100 degrees F. I remember it being hot, but I swear I’ve never, ever, ever had a workout nor a sweat like I had at Funky Door Yoga in the Haight district of San Francisco. Most people opt to do this style of yoga in as little clothing as possible. I followed suit wearing a pair of euro-speedo swim trunks.  A bit revealing, but believe me – while essentially working out in a sauna, checking people out is the last thing on anyones mind.

I went through an entire liter of water about half way through the class, and literally soaked a bath towel to the point where I could wring it out and see a puddle of my own sweat.

If you’re interested in a good workout, give it a shot. Seriously.

And I must say, I do see some results.  I can already tell I’m in way better shape: we both look and feel way better.
