It is now commonly known that working out in a hot room increases caloric burn and metabolism, as well as improves vascular function, and reduces blood pressure. This in addition to the more visible benefits of glowing skin, leaner, stronger muscles and greater flexibility. There is even evidence that the increase of blood flow to the brain, stimulated by working out in the heat, can reduce the risk of dementia.

Interpersonally, Jessica and I guard the health of our relationship as closely as we work on our physical health. We were given the advice early on to form an HYR Business Advisory Board, and to hire a really good business coach, our marriage counselor really, to keep our relationship open and clear of resentments. When Jess and I hit an impasse, rather than us tearing each other apart, these two entities act as tie-breakers. They have saved us over and over again from making huge financial and emotional mistakes.

We are fascinated by the founders of SoulCycle, Julie Rice and Elizabeth Cutler. They are two female entrepreneurs who admit that they are diametrically opposite in nature. Once again they have come together to form a new company, Peoplehood. Interestingly enough, their new company also focuses on helping people to stay connected. But what we find the most compelling about Rice and Cutler is their commitment to their own relationship. Having banked tens of millions of dollars, butted heads, fought, forgiven, and been seduced by other major brands, in the end, they’ve once again chosen each other.

At this moment, my world feels so full with new and old friends, it literally takes my breath away. It is astounding the amount of joy and love around me, and it is all from the simple act of unrolling a yoga mat, in a hot room, one day at a time.
