hot yoga:the essentials

Ever since moving to Charlotte I've become a big advocate of hot yoga. Sure there were numerous yoga places in other cities that I've lived in, but when I found Arrichion I was all but sold on the concept. Looking for another workout besides cardio (my typical workout of choice), I decided to give hot yoga a try. The classes are great for all levels and the temperatures range from 92 degrees to 102 degrees. I cannot say enough good things about the practice and highly recommend finding one to try where you live! {Arrichion has Charlotte and Raleigh locations for my N. Carolina readers!}

Here are a few of my favorite hot yoga essentials....
I'm a little lululemon crazy, but I swear by their products!
      
      the mat                                                                    the tote 
                                                                                                 the headband 
the towel

Other favorites...
1. Stride Jacket: Great to wear before/after class or just running around during the day. Beyond comfortable
2. Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Bottle: Keeps water cold through the heat
3. Wunder Under Pant: The best leggings ever. Worth the splurge!
4. Tunic Tank: A great tank in a longer length
5. Nike Capri's: Not too tight and moves with your body.

Do any of y'all practice hot yoga?
What're your essentials?

    I've done regular yoga classes before and loved it! Sounds like hot yoga is more of a workout? May have to give it a try sometime!

    I'm TERRIFIED to try hot yoga but I really want to at the same time. Might be time to just suck it up and give it a shot!
