Joint pain and swelling

Hi Janayah

I am sorry to hear you are not in tip top health.

I would like to ask a question: you mention that you had a viral infection which caused your joints to swell. And then you asked if it was possible that the yoga caused the swelling and pain.

So I guess I was a little confused on reading the post and would really appreciate knowing a little more. I would love to know what has you actually linking the swelling to the yoga and any other points that you feel are relevant.

Looking forward to your reply

Namaste

Hi Janayah

It seems as though you have simply had a viral infection. In our opinion the hot yoga would certainly not be responsible for causing the problems you describe. Hot yoga generally helps the body to be more resilient to many infection types. When you feel physically more able, I can’t see why you couldn’t head on back into the studio and practice.

Namaste
