My Experience with Hot House Yoga

My very good friend and yoga mentor Kim (one of our CNY Healing Arts instructors!) was the first to introduce me to hot house yoga.  I was at a point in my fertility journey where I felt like I was doing everything right, but all of my results came out wrong.  I was practicing yoga 4-5 times a week, having frequent acupuncture sessions with Donald, taking my medications religiously, and following a good whole foods diet.  However, each time we did an ultrasound, my lining just refused to thicken, and my follicles were being slow pokes.  I felt incredibly frustrated, disappointed, and overwhelmed.  I had decided that if this cycle didn’t work, I would take a few months off.  Re-center, rejuvenate.

I took my Ovidrel on Thursday, and decided that I would not follow up with any further medications.  I needed a break.  On Friday, I met Kim at hot house and I was immediately met by the warmth of the room, and I could feel the energy in the air.  I settled in, and tried to clear my mind.  I was still holding onto frustration from my cycle, and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to fully experience the session.  However, once the class began my mind became a blank slate.  I could feel the release all of my anxiety and frustration with each exhale and pose.  I felt as though I was literally wringing out months of energy, and negativity.  Read more
