When the summer heat waves arrive in Michigan, most of us instinctively reach for the air conditioning. And while A/C is a nice creature comfort, we overuse it. To our physiological and ecological detriment.
The thought of going into a hot room to actually handle the heat doesn’t make sense at first. The usual thought response is:
“No way, it’s hot enough already!”
“Why would I choose to sweat more?”
Furthermore, since the more “mainstream” hot yoga classes in North America have become more movement based, I can understand why many non-bikram-lineage hot yoga studios are turning down their heat.
