My Experience with Hot House Yoga
October 30, 2009 by LisaStack
Filed under news, Uncategorized
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
