in reply to: How hot is it??!! #6757
Thanks so much for your advice, Gabrielle! I love knowing that this forum is here and that I can get my questions answered by someone who is so knowledgeable and kind!
I will post a follow-up if anything changes 🙂in reply to: How hot is it??!! #6742Hello All! I read the thread Is The Studio I Go To Overheating The Room? and I think mine is! We only have one thermostat in the room, and it is in a back corner of the room, about 3 feet above the heating vents. Lately, the studio has been feeling much hotter than usual, and I have a hard time getting through the poses. I leave feeling nauseous and dizzy, and I am not the only student who has noted the increased heat! In any case, last night I situated myself right by the thermostat so I could see the reading during class, and at some points it reached 125! It never went below 118, even during cool down! Is that possible?? Could I be reading the thermostat wrong? (it is digital) 125 seems very dangerous.
I suppose I could just ask – but I don’t feel comfortable doing so. I don’t want to come across as demanding or pushy, or give the impression that I know better than people who have professional Bikram training. Should I say something? If so, how should I phrase it? I don’t want to stop going to this studio, but I don’t want to end each class with a headache and nausea, either!in reply to: Bruising/Burst Capillaries around Eyes #3453Thank you for the response! I will definitely try a cream with Vitamins A&K;. The capillary bursting (if that’s indeed what it is) is directly related to the yoga. I am hesitant to keep calling them burst capillaries, because that may not be what they are, but it is what the look like. Very small, very red, some are not dots so much as very fine “threads” of red under the skin. I I’ve never experienced anything like it before. When I begin class, no red dots. Immediately after class – lots of red dots under the skin around my eyes. They are not raised or itchy, but they do take several days to heal. A coworker noticed it, and said it looked like I had rug burn (around my eyes!) if that helps to visualize it at all.
Could it in some way be related to poses that have the head hanging back or when the body is bent over? Or perhaps I am not breathing correctly? I’d really like to figure out what is causing this! I notice that I feel a tremendous amount of pressure in my face when I am doing the triangle pose, and also camel. Could it be that all the blood rushing to my head is simply overwhelming my weak little capillaries?!
Thank you for your time and insight! -
