I have started taking 'fitness yoga' and find that I like it quite a lot. I take two classes a week, one of which is actually split between yoga and pilates. I'd like to include more yoga in my fitness routine but I'd like to understand more about it first.
First, I've heard that 'real' yoga should be done in a very warm room. Is that true or necessary? I think it would make me sick to exercise like that in a very warm room.
Second, I'd like a yoga routine that maximizes strength and flexibility and also includes a bit of meditative practice. How would I go about finding or developing such a routine for myself. Is there a certain kind of yoga studio or class I should look for?
Third, I'd especially love to have the physical yoga moves combined with Christian contemplative prayer, if such a thing is possible. Has anyone ever heard of "Christian yoga?"
