Wow. We show up to the Bellevue Hot Yoga Inc studio and start meeting other teachers-in-training which made us both a little less nervous for this journey! Everyone seemed to have similar apprehensions considering we are training to be POWER teachers-- not your average hatha/yin/bikram vinyasa teachers. Oh, no. We went all in.
Something we did not know was that Bellevue's studio is the hottest in the business.
Literally. Not figuratively. Like, it is literally 118 degrees Fahrenheit and FULL humidity. (Not to mention we had 50+ people in our first class on Saturday morning which added to the heat).
I sat down on my mat about 20 minutes before class started and started dripping sweat BEFORE the instructor even came in the room!!! Not a good sign.
But thankfully we had both hydrated well, I had experience with a Korean summer, and we were new to power yoga which meant we didn't have any set expectations that interfered with our practice. We just dove in and expected the worst. Well, we got it!
Miraculously we walked out of that 60-minute class feeling great and looking forward to the rest of the training! Our other classmates felt "defeated" and a little freaked out by the intensity of that class but thank heavens it seems to be a little more downhill from there.
Starting with the hottest class was quite literally baptism-by-fire for this course. Well, here's what the JCrew has to say:
Bring it on.
At the end of class with most of our people! Thankfully we got showered off and ate some food after that class from Hades.
