Module 2 -Newsgroups

The task was to post to a newsgroup. I have been a "lurker" in newsgroups for years, so posting a message wasn't hard. Just had to find a good one, Bikram Yoga seemed good since I am an avid yoga practitioner (well, avid as in once a week).

I do Bikram once a week. Wear the lightest clothes possible, lots of
the men actually only wear shorts(bike shorts are too snug, will make
you sweat more, wear running ones), but we females tend to wear shorts, a tank top and barefeet. I drink one and a half bottles of water and if I haven't eaten properly I would bring one bottle of water mixed with electrolytes. I have a small towel to wipe the sweat out of my eyes in addition to the one I am standing on and the mat.
Hope you like it, it is a strenious exercise and first couple of classes you might feel a little sick or lightheaded, but it is just the bodies getting used to exercising in heat.
Good Luck!
