I’ve been practicing 5 months now and due to hormone imbalance have excess belly fat so it becomes a challenge in any forward bend. I am trying to ignore it and use as much pressure as I can to compress. Today, after the head to knee pose (not during) I suddenly felt MUCH hotter and my lower abdomen began to cramp severely It involved the entire pelvis. I laid down on my mat for the remainder of the class and it did not go away. Only after class driving half way home it let up. I was concerned I burst something. Just curious if this is a thing and perhaps I should not push myself for compression?
