If you’re looking to try something new, go no further: Bikram yoga is your answer. Just imagine yoga, only in a room heated to a reported 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celcius). Now imagine the influence of that heat, namely the fact that all participants are close to being naked, given that intense sweating starts within seconds of entering the studio.

Now be prepared for an onslaught of enlightenment. Or at least the sensation of almost passing out (does that count?). My experience consisted of 90 minutes of near exhaustion and what seemed like a liter of sweat leaving my body, but I was also rather proud of the strange contortions I had accomplished, apparently because of the heat.

Go try it. I dare you.
