Thread: NWR: Hot yoga

My friends that do it tell me their skin has cleared up a lot and they have a "glow" since you're supposedly sweating out a lot of toxins, but I could believe the sweat could make someone break out as well.

I have done this and I liked it, but I'm a pilates girl through and through. My advice is to make sure that you dress warmly after the class even though you may be burning up. Some friends and I went in the middle of winter and I was stupid and didn't put all my layers back on because I was so hot, so my muscles tensed in the cold and I was sore for days.
