Hi Shayna
How has it been going?
When your hands and feet go numb that is neither comforting nor a good sign!
I wonder if you’ve been taking sea salt or electrolyte supplementation.
A problem with returning to one’s practice is that the body may not be ready for it but the mind thinks that it should be able to do what it could do before and create a similar physical practice.
Of course there is no shame in lying down. It can feel a little disheartening. But what we have no indication of is what your levels of activity have been in the mean time (between yoga stints). So there is a lot of missing detail in many ways (not just activity).
See what you can do to slow the breath, breathe through the nose, participate when you can and don’t push anything. There’s plenty of time once you’re re-acclimatized for the heat to return to and maybe even exceed where you were at before. For the moment, it’s just one step at a time, one moment, one pose…
Let me know where you’re at before I continue down any particular track!
Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
