Hi Allison
If you’re infective or you have to stop and blow your nose every few minutes then these are good reasons to stay away. Don’t go if you have a temperature. It really is not nice to go into the room where others have a cold thinking they’ll sweat it out in the company of others. If you think that will help you then a steamy bathroom or a room with a vaporiser with or without medicative oils is the answer!
On the subject of blowing your nose. The perception of others counts here. You may no longer have a cold but if you have to blow your nose all the time this can be very off-putting to your neighbors. It’s also very unappealing to be practising next to someone who has a growing pile of mooshy gooshy tissues.
In a warm and humid environment where there are lots of people all together, it pays to consider others possibly even more than you would in ‘regular’ environments. Anyway, that’s my 2c worth.
Namaste

PS there are actually quite a number of questions like this elsewhere in the forum with comments from many yogis! Take a look…
