Very cold when doing yoga

Hi Kinen

OK, so your body temperature is down during hot yoga. Have you ever known it to be down with other activities?

Also can you please tell me about the temperatures in the hot room in which you practise? Do they tell you it is 105F or 42C? Do you get the feeling it is hotter or colder than that? What can you tell me about the ambient temperatures (or your perceptions of them) and how much you may or may not be sweating at the times your temperature is down?

How are you measuring your temperature and when?

Kelly, you say your teachers say it’s about hydration. That could be true. It could also be more about heat exhaustion. Please go and research the effects of heat exhaustion (leading to heat stroke) and come back and tell me if that resonates for you in any way.

Neil, it could also be the overall temperature, or it could be that you stand under a vent where you are getting blasted by air. With underfloor heating it usually doesn’t blow air over you. Would that be correct?

Over to you all, let me know what you think, and Kinen, please answer the questions. This is serious stuff.

Namaste
