In a Hot Yoga Class

I have wanted to try out yoga in a physical class for the longest time. However, I never thought that my first yoga class would be in a warm, humid room with temperatures as high as 40 degrees Celsius. So assuming that the hot yoga class would be similar to the 10 minutes that I spend on my laptop watching Pinterest's basic yoga tutorials, I went in unprepared. It was 5pm at Two Rivers Mall in Nairobi.

Sonia Birdi, the founder of Hot Yoga Nairobi quickly got me checked in. I was shown into the changing room, allocated a locker and given a yoga mat and a glass of water to carry with me into the studio.
