ONLINE FORM: Hot Yoga in Chicago

After having an unlimited month of hot yoga (special thanks to Groupon) at a nearby studio, I have become motivated to continue my practice. The feeling of motivation is great, but will the regular price of these classes and also my abnormal schedule deter me away from my practice? I am sure many other people who are interested in practicing hot yoga may have these concerns or other concerns such as their health and the heat. I decided to create this online form as way of sorting my thoughts and worries about taking on a membership. Also, I created this form to create more exposure to an exercise 'trend' that some maybe curious about.
