Some like it hot

I've heard people talk about Bikram yoga, and have held the opinion that a person would have to be stark raving mad to subject themselves to an hour and a half of 90 degrees + yoga. I've taught in classrooms at school that have hovered around 90 degrees, and never felt a compelling need to spend time in a room that hot by choice.

However...I've had chronic neck pain for quite a while, and have been seeing a chiropractor. He suggested that I give Bikram yoga a shot--if for nothing else, to chalk something up on my "life experience" list. So, after putting it off for a while, I finally went tonight. I have to say, it wasn't bad. I might even consider doing it again. I actually felt energized after dripping sweat for 90 minutes.
