I’m beginning to get the feeling that a lot of people don’t consider yoga a serious workout. Both colleagues and friends have shared this sentiment with me; one was even shocked at feeling hungry after an hour-long class: Her: I don’t get why I’m so hungry, I just had lunch. Me: Because you just worked out for an hour! Her: (whispering) But it was yoga – I don’t know if I consider that a workout. These people have definitely never taken a Vinyasa flow

class like mine - my heart is pounding throughout the class and I’m drenched in sweat. I’m also the right amount of sore by the next day. Still, the idea of yoga not being a serious workout perseveres. As a friend of mine says: “I want more sweat, less stretch, and no chant.” How about you?
