Yoga, yoga and more yoga on Long Island
I’ve been wanting to try Bikram yoga for a long time. I’ve actually been talking about going since I lived in Chicago, which was about five years ago. I finally got my opportunity and wasn’t disappointed.
I got asked to write an article for Newsday on “Cool ways to stay warm” (cheesy headline, I know), the premise being that I’d find ways outside of staying in bed and warm baths for people to battle the winter chill. The first thing that came to mind? Bikram. They heat the room to about 100 degrees and you’re stuck in there for 90 minutes. ‘Nuff said.
I documented my yoga adventures, video above, for my latest episode of ExploreTV, and while the yoga basics class was a good primer and the Vinyasa class was a tough workout, I think I enjoyed Bikram the most. While I haven’t had the chance to go back, I’m planning on checking out the Williamsburg and Rego Park studios in the new year.
