Bikram

The one and only Bikram Yoga studio in all of Argentina happened to open 2 1/2 months ago near my apartment. The director is from North America and gives the classes in a "gracioso" (laughable) accent that is wayyyy worse than mine so i get the benefit of a self-esteem boost AND exercise during class. But really, today was my first stab at this and it is one of the physically most challenging things i've ever done. The room is 42° C, in Farenheit i have no idea. Look it up. It's wicked hot. This place has a masochistic promo going on where if you buy one class, you get 6 for free. As long as you do them consecutive days. Ahhh. My body has literally changed after one listen ONE day and is already soooooore all over. We walk out of the little hell room looking literally like we had been in a water aerobics class. And it takes so much concentration--all the way around this weird activity is surprisingly awesome. i slept so little last night, had a scary midterm that entailed thousands of pounds of brainpower, went to that yoga thing twice, and am feeling sharp and full of energy at 1am. it was like a drug. Yoga is "el único ejercicio que te da energía," the only exercise that actually gives you energy. WTF, the secret to add more hours in the day!!!!
