I have been working out for so long without stretching that my muscles were tight and stretching them was out of my body's comfort zone. This was one reason I fell in love with hot yoga. In a heated room, you do not immediately feel the effects of stretching because the damp heat lubricates tight muscles; but in 24 hours, it might be quite a chore to move those sore muscles. I started using an msm supplement once a day to get through the first weeks of muscle soreness; a godsend because soreness can make you feel heavy and lethargic.
Many Christians see yoga as an obstruction to Christianity. I see it as an enhancement. Like meditation, Christ-centered yoga (and other various forms) acts as a chasm or tunnel that ushers me to enter into the deeper chambers (the presence) of God. It does this by helping me to clear away the weights, worries, and the negative mindsets that so easily latch onto me as I go through the day and then to release them to Christ. Colossians 3 tells us to put off the old man. Through subduing of the body and controlling the breath the choreography of yoga can calm the restless beast in each of us allowing us to open our hearts more fully to pilates memphis our Creator.
Yoga works on many levels. Its strengthens the mind, body and spirit. In the long run, after regular sessions of hot yoga, the benefits will slowly seep into your conscious. There are some instant benefits too that will make you feel relaxed, energized and completely destressed.

Currently I am in a hot yoga teachers training program. At one point I was an instructor for a Christian yoga alternative program, which was good; however, I wanted greater skill and confidence in this practice. I wanted to know proper form and alignment to prevent injuries. I would have attended a Christian yoga training program but I needed something local as I'm not a very good online learner. I need a classroom and structure.
You will also need to wear the right clothes when you go for your exercise session. You are certainly going there to become fit but there is no harm to give in to some vanity. Yoga classes tend to be filled with very stylish people and you will feel very much out of place if you too are not as well dressed as they are.
