Hot Yoga? Me? Cefus Learns a Little About Stress Relief

Hot yoga class sounds like something for the girls after a rough day at work. But I had never thought about the benefits -- flexibility and overall stress relief -- it might offer for someone like myself.

I've never ever taken a yoga class, but I have joked about some of the strange positions you get into during yoga class: "downward dog," "happy baby" -- and one of my favorites, "the cobra."

But after going through a short tryout class with some of my friends here at Townsquare Media, I can totally see the need to continue on with Renu Hot Yoga. The studio is very clean, the staff very professional and smart, and the environment is serene and relaxing. Starting Friday you can get a five-class pass for 50 percent off -- a $60 value for $30.

If you're curious, my friend Lance Tormey gives you the rundown on hot yoga and some of its benefits.
