Dehydration: One Of The Leading Problems Of Hot Yoga

Sure, it's correct engaging in Hot Yoga can cause dehydration. I've been there and that I know exactly the way it feels. The room temperature alone causes you to be dizzy and sick and that is before you start moving, humidity is completely awful. All you may feel is your heart thumping and sweat dripping. Then when the actual Hot Yoga class begins you would feel the body heat up a lot more, and not in a gorgeous type of way. That's what I experienced in the beginning. I felt my sweat dripping, my heart thumping, the room was spinning then I felt I was slipping. That's what happened.

In the middle of our Hot Yoga class I fainted and the next thing I realized I was in the hospital complete with masks in my face and fine needles poked in my arms and hands, all I could hear were doctors and nurse practitioners shouting and asking for more dosages of shots then I blacked out again. After I woke up, I had an awful numb experience and my mind felt like it was going to blow up. I was not in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit or ICU anymore. I was in a area loaded with attractive flowers plus a stuffed bear that I named Yogi. I remembered thinking to myself: "Wasn't I just within my Hot Yoga class?" The physician stumbled on my room, provided a few pain killers and described. I'd been dried out and my body's core temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius while the normal is 36 degrees to 37 degrees Celsius. The central nervous system grew to be reduced and it might no longer tell my system to chill itself. My nerves started to be paralyzed and my mind could no longer send indicators or directions to my body system. He added that when they were late by 5 minutes I would have been gone. With what I could recall what I felt as with that class, I believe I would have been happier dead, but thankfully I am in existence. He included that this the kind of mistake of people that enroll in Hot Yoga classes. They believe things are very easy but to be honest, there are many of dangers in taking on or signing up for Hot Yoga classes. Hot Yoga enthusiasts do not know and they need to be informed.

Those phrases hit me. I used to be a Hot Yoga fanatic and I have been doing Hot Yoga for months and this was the very first time this ever occurred. I thought I knew everything about Hot Yoga but turns out I was wrong. That error nearly caused me my life!

Following that incident I go class to class in different Hot Yoga studios telling them of how really great Hot Yoga is but how great the dangers that are involved in it as well. I'm glad that in one way or another I could help others who really like Hot Yoga just as much as I do.
