Oh my goodness - I know the sheer, unforgiving, seemingly eternal hell you have been to.
A "friend" of mine once conned me into paying for an hour of torture by way of bikram yoga. It was the single most awful way to spend an hour I've ever had.
She and I no longer speak (joking). But seriously, she knows better than to EVER try to pull a stunt like this. I told her next time she was in the mood to try something new, to just book us in for a good old fashioned hour long flogging or flaying....
You have my sympathy!!
Haha...and yet people get so addicted to it and swear by it. I hear if you can make it past the first week...well I couldn't make past the first ninety minutes! Some sadomasochism does sound more appealing as you suggest!
If you know any of those people who love it and swear by it, my advice is that you cut all contact with them as they are NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD
am only joking x
