Tried a new yoga studio today and can appreciate the differences. The origial studio I went to is larger and was geared towards complete beginners. Their classes very structured and provide step by step instructions. The new yoga studio is smaller and more intimate. Since the class was so much smaller, about 3 times, the instructor is able to give more personal attention and adjustments. The studio was not heated and I was able to realize how much the heat affected the workout.
The heat made it feel more like a “workout” since I sweated so damn much. It had the illusion of a cardio workout. Now a realize that it was less of an aerobic workout than I thought, which explains why I did not lose as much weight as I thought I would. Time to add more cardio.
