Happy Yoga Dance Time

So I'm attempting to better myself this year and decided that I might give some new athletic pursuits a try. I picked dance and yoga because they seem like the least athletic pursuits I could try.
Since I live in the 'burbs, I'm checking out some yoga studios near me. One is the hot yoga at Bikram Yoga in Coquitlam and the other is Newport Yoga in Port Moody's hip & trendy-type Newport Village.
Bikram Yoga runs a hot yoga: the heat is supposed to help purify your body and warm up your muscles to make you extra-bendy and prevent injuries or strain. You can check them out at www.bikramhotyoga.ca.
Next, Newport Yoga offers everything but hot yoga. They have pilates, candlelight yoga, meditation... the list goes on. The company was also started by a former finance-guy. Looks like he decided to shun the corporate world and become a yoga instructor! Not bad! www.newportyoga.net
So now I have to pick one and make a decision. They both offer an introductory week for just $20, so I get to check them out and let you know how it goes.
Wish me luck in being slightly less lazy!
