Thanks Gus for your post on the suctioning back issue….. I had a new pair of shorts on in class yesterday which apparently allow for excellent suction for my back against the floor. I rocked myself up to a sitting position yestrday at the end of class & it sounded like I did the biggest fart in the whole world. Mortified but glad to hear I am not alone!

I’m actually going to my first hot yoga class on Friday. I’m excited! These tips will definitely come in handy. A friend of mine told me that during her first few classes she felt sick afterwards, but now she absolutely loves it. Crossing my fingers that my experience is better than hers!

I just started my Hot Yoga practice 12 days ago! I tried a 90 minute-Hot Yoga a year ago, it was great, although 90 minutes was a bit too long for this girl! I have now found an awesome studio here in Charlotte, NC called Arrichion Hot Yoga and fell in LOVE! My challenge was to do Hot Yoga for 30 days! Today is Day #13 and I have bragged to my boot camp clients about this as well as my friends. I am a athlete and LVOE a challenge, so what better way than to do Hot Yoga-I take some of the most challenging classes, but may not be able to hold poses for as long-the classes are 45 minutes LOVE IT! I even do a combo class called Tiger’s Eye that is Circuit Training for 30 min and 30 min of Hot Yoga-AWESOMENESS!

if your clothes are smaller, you can see yourself better and adjust your postures better. I tried to go back to a full length tank top and it just wasn’t the same!

Wonderful post and great ideas. I agree that Peppermint soap is the ultimate refreshment. I make Organic Peppermint soap that my customers rave about. http://www.serenitylure.com.

You need to make sure you get enough electolytes, especially if your hot yoga of choice is Bikram.

Apologies if this is obvious, but since this is geared towards new people:

Electrolytes are basically electrically charges minerals in our bodies. We get enough sodium in our diets and it’s easy to supplement minerals such as magnesium, chloride, et al. Potassium is harder to supplement, so eat bananas, avocados and any other potassium-containing product in addition to getting your other minerals (a multivitamin is nice).

Starting out in hot yoga I found it helpful to bring a metal water bottle filled with iced water. When it got too hot I would lie on my mat and put the bottle on my forehead to cool the sinuses. A few deep breaths of cooled air was rejuvenating and I could rejoin the class quickly.

Ive been doing bikram yoga for about 8 weeks now and I agree with cindy there is not enough choices for clothing and colors in this area. men in paticular only have one pair of shorts available in black and thats it i would love to see even a colored logo or a side strips anything.
bikram is amazing though and im so happy i made the decision to do it.

lululemon could make a killing on bikram clothing, with some cool colors and prints along with much lighter fabrics. The hot yoga clothes I’ve bought are too heavy and boring charcoal and black. Bring up a bikram vagas or los angeles training sight and you’ll know what I mean. People want to be in fun colors for this demanding workout. Have a good one.

Hi Emma!
What you wear to a hot yoga class is based on personal preference – some prefer more coverage, some prefer less, and some are in between. You’ll see variation in what students wear from studio to studio and class to class. Some students prefer to wear a little bit less because they find it more comfortable in such high temperatures and find they have a larger range of movement.

I keep seeing these totally cute but very tiny hot yoga outfits at Lululemon but the people in my hot yoga classes seem to cover up way more than this and I would feel pretty self-conscious if I was the only one downdogging in something not much larger than a bikini. That said, I would do it if there was a good reason to – so why are hot yoga outfits so itty-bitty? What are the benefits for your practice?
