RESULTS:

Although Milly does find it difficult at times, she is noticing the results!


Below is a list of Milly's Key Tips & Insights


#1: Mascara we love but NOT down the face

Don't forget to remove your makeup (unless you are going for the distressed woman who has been crying for hours look!)
Plus it blocks your pores, and so is a feeding ground for zits!

#2: Clothing

It's called hot yoga so make sure you wear as little as possible

Milly wears an old pair of shorts and t-shirt 

#3: Just sit down

You will feel dizzy and sick, if so just sit down and BREATHE.
Think of it as a good sign, you are vanquishing those dastardly TOXINS.

#4: Drink plenty of water

Drink 2-3 litres of water before class
It's a great excuse for hydrating that skin - think silky smooth skin








#5: Take your own towel and water

Milly has saved £3.00 per visit because of this (£24 in total).
Over the 30 day challenge that would be a savings of £90!

#6: Good teacher

Try out different teachers.
Milly likes the funny teacher the best.  

Thanks to him she discovered that if you breathe through your nose you don't breath in farts or bugs!

#7: Alternative to a dating website

Everyone is crammed in uber close, so you get to know your neighbour.
Imagine you don't need to bother getting dolled up if you meet your true love down at hot yoga



#8: Don't forget to smile

There are times Milly would rather not smile but she has found when she smiles forgets about the aches and pains.

Warning - The things you should watch out for:

#9: Pong



Forget smelling of roses or in Milly's case Coco Chanel, you will smell like a pair of rotten socks!

#10: Communal showers (Yikes!)

Milly is distraught at the mention of communal showers:

1) It reminds her of school - She use to make wet footprints on the floor, so that her gym teacher would think she had had a shower!

2) Milly is prudish and doesn't want someone else to see her in her birthday suit
3) Milly never knows where to look Thankfully, Milly lives very close to the studio, and so trots home, wafting her lovely pong over the poor people she passes!

So armed with these insights, Milly hopes you do give it ago. ENJOY!
PS. Don't forget to check the discount websites for a deal ("Learn to budget" page) or check with the studio if they have special trial offers
