So I haven't done yoga since I got pregnant...which makes that about 2 years since I've exercised at all? I went back to work right after 4 months of maternity leave (that's Singapore for you; why would anyone be surprised with the low birth rate), and maybe it's all excuses but I was either too exhausted to go work out after work or I just wanted to spend time with Alex.
Anyway...since Jakarta is an embarkment of a new beginning (especially me not needing to work for the time being!), I decided that I should start a routine of good habits!
So my very first destination, alone in Jakarta is... the yoga studio called Yoga@42 which I was extremely delighted to find. They have two branches, one in Senayan and the other one in Kemang. I went to the Senayan branch which is very near to Senayan Plaza and FX mall.
I signed up for the 1st timer promotion of 470,000idr ($47usd~) for a week unlimited after the first session. Each session is 90 minutes and you will be guaranteed to be sweating like a piglet during the class.
I have always loved Bikram Yoga as it is faster and more intense than your regular yoga (the slow ones tend to put me to sleep!). I also love the fact that you sweat out all the toxins; which I find very beneficial for someone like me who has very bad water retention.
If you are a first timer or haven't done yoga in a while, you will be aching quite a bit the next day but well, return for another session soon and you will feel better. I know it's unbelievable but I did feel better after returning back a day after!
And don't worry about being skimpily dressed during class. I didn't know what to expect (Indonesia being a conservative nation) so I wore more clothes than usual. You will find other ladies dressed only in bikini or sports bra.
I am gonna stay around this studio for some time, so say hi to me if you see me! Namaste!
