I have been doing hot yoga for several months and loving it! My body is kinda getting used to it and I am learning about how to be active. I am not hurt after hot yoga - actually I feel really good.
However, one day I went to a very light and easy cold "Family Yoga" class. We do lions, worms, puppy partners and Run Around Yogi. It is a fun class where you can wear jeans and introduce your kids to yoga and have fun. I love the bonding and we do a snuggle savasana. Well, my daughter got too into it and jumped on me during a down doggie. Needless to say - my back, shoulders, legs and hips were killing me. The bonding is great, but I can't handle the pain.
So, after that pain I used some doTERRA Deep Blue Rub lotion for my aches and pains. It worked great. I was cold...I was hot...then normal and I felt GREAT. The areas I applied it to felt great, the areas I didn't apply it to still hurt. The next day I applied it to other areas. I still felt great, smelled like an herb factory and apparently as my husband so nicely said, "my granny's snuff". BUT I felt good.
So I had all day long to feel good. I then head off to hot yoga at 530pm. I kept thinking...is the room 200 degrees only on my arms and back. No matter what I did, my skin was on fire. I rubbed it, added water to my towels to try and cool it down. Blew my cold breath on it. NOTHING! My skin was on FIRE. I couldn't wait to get out, but my pride wouldn't let me leave.
Slowly I cam to realize that the Cayenne pepper in the blend of went to town on my skin. I finally figured out....if something has Cayenne pepper in it...go to hot yoga after it is on your skin - even if it is 15hours old.
TAKE A SHOWER FIRST!!
