Overall it was fun to watch my friend attempt some of the poses and watch him almost take out the little lady next to him. I think next week I'll hunt down a nice cool climate yoga loft. ;)

Hey - I love this challenge you and your husband are doing! I took a hot yoga class once and I can totally relate to the waves of nausea that came over you. I have only ever done the one class so I'm by no means an expert, but I did find that the child's pose was much more restorative than the corpse pose - I remember that specifically. I would get dizzy or nauseous from time to time during the class, and I found that when I paused in the child's pose, the feeling would pass and I could continue on with the class. Just something to keep in mind for next time. Also I've heard that you're more prone to waves of nausea the first few times you do hot yoga but that if you do it regularly, your body gets more accustomed to exercising in high heat and the waves of feeling awful stop.
