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. (Editor in charge: Yang Miao)
