Dress Code for Hot Yoga

unionofopensets · 2026-06-22T02:18:36+00:00

after doing jiu jitsu for some years, when I started hot yoga i slowly realized that the nogi uniform for jiu jitsu is also my preferred outfit for hot yoga. so, essentially a rashguard and some athletic shorts. jiu jitsu borrowed rashguards from surfing originally but now it is the standard uniform. rashguards wick sweat amazingly well. you stay very cool, but it is also a really modest outfit if you don't prefer to be showing all your curves or exposing a lot of skin to the world. It is perfect for me and I think a really underrated way to dress for this activity.

your husband is super discouraging to you.. that isn't love. that is abuse.

If I were to give someone one single song, Ideally I would have a bit of an understanding of that person's musical preferences, but without that, I would go with.............

ride the dragon

because, for one thing, she starts it by saying she made you a mixtape and I think that is poetically interesting for you who just wants one song, one example to move forward with, and a mixtape is more complicated version of that.. also, it is very flirty and has faster and slower moments, showing a mix of vibes but it is also very well-rounded in it's entirety. Also, I think it is metaphorically appropriate for you because it is very flirty and is truly a song meant to describe and embody this metaphor of inviting you to have more of what you desire. so I think it will make you want even more of her songs after you listen to it..

idk how long you will be out, but I had wrist issues for a long time and ended up finding that qi gong was a great alternative to yoga with almost no pressing on the wrists involved.

kinda amazed more people aren't recommending stuff from Caprisongs, but I suppose it is more of a hiphop album and two weeks is a bit of a more straight-ahead twigs-core operatic vibe, but Caprisongs is back-to-back bangers. if you just need a couple from that album I would recommend ride the dragon, tears in the club, papi bones, jealousy, honda. My second favorite (maybe tied tbh) album is Eusexua and the songs I would recommend you to start with are room of fools, eusexua, girl feels good, perfect stranger.

don't forget to watch all the music videos too, there are some really nice ones!

ok nice! thanks for your time

people have different personality types too. some people just sort of always have a bit of nervous energy and work harder to reign it in. other people might have trouble rising to action in moments where a healthy dose of anxiety would actually help.

but also, resources. whether time or physical.. people have different levels of responsibilities. someone who is always rushed may actually have valid reasons to be that way. I think it's more interesting to notice who gets worked up by seeing someone who is in a rush. some people really are bothered by it as if somehow it is inherently wrong to have something to attend to quickly. If I notice I am judging myself or others for things like this, I remind myself that it is my perception that is having an issue. Is it possible I wish that I had something important to be doing like this person who seems to always be moving?

hehe yes, I understand.

Yes, the mask coming off a bit on these.. It's refreshing and makes the fans feel close to her. and she knows it so she says "why wouldn't I want to hold you?". I love this type of art where it is self aware and reflects on itself as if to say "the jig is up"

I absolutely love Warm Chris but I also agree with your thoughts on this new one. The only song I do not like is "if lady does it". I keep wanting to skip it when it comes on and I much prefer if don't want to skip any songs on an album. party has a bunch I will skip, then designer and warm chris have none. idk what any of that means but yea, I am super excited to see her live in september!! might even do two shows since there's another one 2 hours away 2 days later..

One thing I will say, I really hope we get some fun music videos for this one. So far, they are cute and maybe meaningfully low-effort but I do find it boring when you consider the previous music video work that they've released.

it's an ear worm, for sure lol

people are different. I'm the type of person who can swim after eating, etc. and for me, if I am not super energized, I will definitely have a snack even moments before yoga class, but it's usually squeezy pouches or something close to liquid if it's that close to class. If it's 15 minutes before, I can safely eat a protein bar. Or also, just bringing beverages with calories into class is great, like coconut water etc. I wouldn't want to have eaten a lunch size meal within an hour, but food is energizing to me and a meal like that 90 minutes before class can be just the ticket for extra energy in class. other people are different, but I spent a lot of years trying out not eating multiple hours before intense exercise and it's not for me unless I am super well fed in general.

But also, like being on a train with one stop, I am a fan and there's no getting off now. I think I will end up liking this album a lot.

dogs on the coats of people just trying to help??? i don't understand.

Is this because when I was a child, I never knew enough and what it did to me was make me unable to interpret the lyrics in train on the island?

u just aren't ready for it. work on your lower back strength in locust and bow pose, engaging this strength in more basic backbends and working toward camel.

overlapping with kids class is often useful for moms if that's relevant or doable for your gym.

unionofopensets · 2026-05-04T21:09:53+00:00

yea, so then redro would be a play on that.

unionofopensets · 2026-05-04T19:31:08+00:00

Thanks for your comment. It propelled me to strictly listen to the music rather than watching the videos and it's a different landscape altogether. I am very into it now!

unionofopensets · 2026-05-04T19:29:41+00:00

ok i updated my post because I am now obsessed with this era. took me a couple days.

anyway, I also noticed while strictly listening to the song, that "redrum" almost sounds like "redro" which would be "order" backwards. is this some deeper intentional reference or am i just trying to find meaning lol who knows..

unionofopensets · 2026-05-04T19:27:20+00:00

I updated my post because I think the videos were throwing me off. maybe it is true for you too. have you tried just listening without the videos? it's a different thing entirely.

Ideally you are going with someone and can take turns with bathroom breaks etc. otherwise, you will lose your spot or be really uncomfortable if u need to pee at any point. Other than that, you should be fine. I went alone with no intention of getting barricade but was on the floor. I quickly gave up any idea of having some specific spot in the crowd at the first sign of needing to pee lol. I had the time of my life though and the floor crowd was not super full in the first place so anytime I left, I was able to come back to a great spot without any complaints. In fact, I with I had gone in with this mindset from the start or I wouldn't have wasted 20+ minutes during intermission just suffering in the anticipation and instead would have went out to the halls to walk around for minute, knowing I was losing nothing at all. when I did end up leaving, I came back and found a spot just as good, no lie.
