Do hot yoga: sweat and light

As for the statement that hot yoga is the most important to lose weight, Janny said that it also varies from person to person. Those with edema are the most likely to achieve weight-boosting effects. This is because people consume a lot of water in summer and are used to going to bed late. If the water is not discharged in time, it will easily edema, making people appear puffy. Hot yoga is especially suitable for people with edema because it can help people quickly metabolize water.

In addition, the following two types of people are also suitable for practicing hot yoga:

First, people who incubate air conditioners all day long. Janny said that for those who go out and drive and turn on the air conditioner when they come in, there is no chance to sweat at all in the hot summer, and practicing hot yoga can help them experience the joy of sweating profusely, which is particularly beneficial to their health.

Second, since practicing hot yoga in a high-temperature classroom will speed up the flow of blood, increase the body temperature, and remove undesirable substances in the blood with sweat, it is also recommended for people who want to detoxify drugs.

Little advice

Janny reminded that compared with the comfort of practicing hot yoga in winter, practicing hot yoga in the hot summer should pay more attention to self-protection:

First of all, bring a towel and water while practicing, and pay attention to replenish water at any time. Since there is an air-conditioned room outside the hot yoga classroom, the temperature difference is very large, it is recommended to put on a towel after class and wait until the sweat is completely dried and the pores shrink before taking a bath. Because you can easily catch a cold like Xiaomi by blowing on the air conditioner immediately when the pores open.

Secondly, when you enter a hotter yoga classroom from a very hot place, you may feel dizzy. It is not advisable to practice immediately at this time. You can tell the teacher to wait until you adjust your body before starting exercising.

Third, don't show off when practicing. Pay attention to self-protection and adjust the range of breathing and movements.

Finally, the frequency of practicing hot yoga should not be too high. A class is 90 minutes, twice a week. Because the hot yoga classroom is particularly hot, practicing too frequently, the skin will be very dry. In addition, since everyone's heat resistance is different, beginners can experience a short 60-minute lesson first. (Internship Editor: Xiao Chai)
