    Hi Gabrielle,

    My studio generally runs around 104F, though I have no idea about the humidity level. I would say that most regular attending students in my classes, including myself, are able to endure the 90 minutes without sitting out. So, I don’t think that my studio is excessively hot, though its the only Bikram studio I have attended. I have read that is pretty normal for a Bikram studio, but I’m not sure. I would say that the longer I continue to practice, the more I sweat inside the classroom. I assumed that was because I am more hydrated now than when I started. I don’t feel bad at all, so I feel like if it is heat exhaustion it is minor. The last few weeks, in particular, I feel stronger and have more endurance! It’s just this sweat that’s driving me crazy!

    I am going to try drinking a bit more water leading up to and after my next class, as well as staying in savasana a few minutes longer after class. I will check the studio’s barometer while I’m there, and get back to you.

    Thanks so much!

    I am also experiencing frequent sweating outside of yoga classes. As soon as I begin to feel just slightly warm, I begin sweating. Before I began practicing Bikram, I rarely sweat, but now it is like a switch has been turned on, and I sweat all the time! I am 27 years old, and have been practicing 3-4 times a week for a little more than a year. I add electrolyte tablets to my water regularly, and try to drink 2L of water daily. I wonder if maybe that’s not enough, or if something else is lacking? I really enjoy the practice, and I feel great otherwise, but the constant sweating is frustrating.
