28 Thoughts You Have During A Hot Yoga Class

Oh God, what have I gotten myself into?

Last month, I went to my first hot yoga class. If you don't know what that is, it's muscle-focused yoga done in a humid room heated up to 105ºF. Also known as hell on earth. I liked it after I was finished with it, but it was easily the hardest thing I've ever done. If you need a quick comparison to how hot it was in that room, I feel like it's similar to being forced to run a marathon in July while also on fire. The heat completely zaps your energy, so these classes are both mentally and physically exhausting. Here are 28 things I thought during my first hot yoga class.

1. The website says to drink plenty of water before class and I've not had any today. Better get started!

2. That class just ended and those people look like they're dying. Oh god, what have I gotten myself into?

3. *Walks into room* HOLY GOD! HOW IS IT THIS HOT?

The heat hits you like a freaking brick wall and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

4. Oh god, all I'm doing is sitting on my mat and I'm already sweating.


5. Why are all these people around me are warming up with headstands?

I can't even pretend that I can do a headstand. Did I sign up for an advanced class by accident? Seriously, this would be me if I tried to do a headstand:

6. I'm just going to lay here and think about how I'm going to survive the next hour and fifteen minutes.

7. The teacher is here. She looks like she's so nice, but I bet she's going to kick my butt with both feet.

8. Okay, we're starting. Good lord, it's so hot in here.

9. Why is this going so fast? I can't keep up.

10. That was our warmup? Sweet Christ, I can't do this.

11. Come on, Ally. Tough it out. You can do this.

12. I'm sweating so hard. This is so uncomfortable.

13. You want me to do what?

14. Uh, no. I absolutely cannot balance 180 pounds of me on my head, hands or anything else that is not my feet.

15. I'm seriously the only one that can't do this.

16. I'm so exhausted.


17. "This is a judgement-free zone." Yeah, okay. Tell that to the girl that's eyeing me from her headstand while I'm sitting on my butt.

18. I'm not even sure what time it is.

19. How much longer until I can feel normal temperatures again?

20. I'm going to die in here.

21. I have never sweat this hard in my life.

22. I don't ever want to do this again.

23. We're starting cool-down stretches. Thank the Lord.

24. Did she say frozen towel?

25. She said frozen towel. I am #blessed.

26. I am about to bolt out of this room.

27. *Gets outside* Y'know, that wasn't actually that bad.

28. I need two things: a shower, and to sleep for approximately two weeks.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
