    I have been doing Bikram Yoga for ~2 mos. now. I am addicted. This week, I had the opportunity to go 5 days in a row, however, the next day, I am exhausted and can barely make it through the day! Any advise/comments?

    I think you need to rest. Maybe that means a nap after class, or more sleep in the evening, or maybe even a class every other day.
    And Wow! That means you’re working hard!

    Hello G

    Woo hoo! 5 times per week. Don’t you just feel fabulous? Well done on such a great commitment.

    I remember those first few months. I couldn’t keep away. In fact I even felt guilty those days that I couldn’t make it. I remember a conversation with a teacher at that time when I expressed how I felt about missing yoga because I had work commitments. It was then that I decided to stay away on purpose from time to time to learn how to cope with NOT going. :cheese: Seriously.

    I wonder if there is any of that happening for you.

    Of course, as Edge has indicated, it sounds as though your body needs a rest. Listen to your body and give it a day off once in a while, or take that nap. Not being able to function in your regular day to day activities, despite loving your yoga may be going against your intentions to do the yoga… Hmmmmmm… I am wondering how many of us out there have had this dilemma!!!

    Namaste
    Gabrielle 🙂
