These latest two classes were during the week, after work, at the 8pm slot. The last class of the work days, and probably the hottest to attend, as the 6pm-ers get out just a mere half hour before the 8pm-ers. I walked into the room these days last week, and no joke, before we even started, the thermostat read 104* both days.
| 104 degrees: This is about accurate.

I got sick over the weekend, so I haven't been able to attend class since last Thursday. So now I have to buckle down and go consistently until the end of the month to make up classes I've missed if I still want to reach the 26 classes goal. What this means is that I have to do several double sessions over the weekends in order to reach anywhere close to the 26 classes (yikes). But I know I can do it.
I actually thought that the heat in the room might actually help me sweat out whatever bug I'd caught from the office last week, but it seemed to just expedite the process and make me worse quicker. Hopefully I will have a decent class tonight, and maybe it'll make me feel a bit better.
Word of advice though: Don't go to class if you are pretty sick. I once made that mistake a long time ago, and wanted to push through a class when I was suffering with a bad cold, and I almost passed out. Or if you must go while feeling under the weather: Listen to your body! If it's telling you to lay down and take a break, do it. Don't try and act all macho about it. There's no shame in taking a break. I know more than anyone how bad it can make you feel when you can't do what the more experienced yogi's can (especially as a newbie that doesn't want to lay down because you feel embarrassed), but you get there by paying attention, and taking your time. You can't get to step C, without going through step's A and B first.
Happy stretching!
