Diary of a Gen Z Student: Hot yoga inspires me to keep cool about new year's resolutions

For now, I enjoy the ability to blend in with all the January beginners. So, while I may not be making many resolutions of my own, I am indebted to those that are. Particularly if those resolutions involve protecting my ego in exercise classes

Jane Cowan: 'I’ve never been one for grand new year’s resolutions. So, while everyone else is planning on repenting for their festive sins for the foreseeable, I will not be lowering my chocolate intake, gravy intake, or whatever it is that people cut down on at this time of year. I wouldn’t know.' Picture: Moya Nolan

Recently I found myself profusely sweating through a downward dog in a hot yoga class.

For some reason that I do not know, these yoga classes heat the room to about 35C. So, you’ll be sliding across your mat before you can say ‘Namaste’.
