venus yoga

again, not a true kutrate experience, but worth noting ...

as part of my ticket subscription, i had the chance to take a "venus" beginning hot yoga class at vegas hot!  a truly diabolical idea, it's 90 minutes of work in 105 degrees and 40% humidity.

it was going to be a challenge for me, for sure, because although my cardio-pulmonary physique is about as good as you can possibly get, my flexibility has always been terrible ... and it's getting worse as i get older.

we went through all the expected twists, moves and convolutions.  some i could sort-of accomplish with difficulty, others i had to substitute lesser moves for.  after about 75 minutes, i had to sit out about four sets of moves, just to let my heart get back in the "merely extremely dangerous" zone.

as you'd expect, the class was mostly 30-something females ... although i wasn't the oldest, nor heaviest, guy there.

just dropping in and taking the class as a one-off would've been about $15.  (i'm not marking it down in the financials.)

i'd sign-up for this over the longer term, but it's a tad pricey compared to, say, a gym membership.  i might try and negotiate a kutrate price.
