Wow, I had no idea. I think I need to read your post again, and try butt engagement. thanks, Gabrielle!
Aloha Gabrielle, thanks for the reply. Yes, I think you were right about the itchiness, and I did try remaining on my mat for a longer period after the class. Still sweaty, but I think that is part of it all.:-) I haven’t gone to class for a couple of weeks due to a trip out of town and also due to low back and leg pain; hurts to sit for long periods (especially driving, shoots from my buttock down my thigh.) It seems to be getting better with the rest and makes me think it could be related to some yoga asanas. (sorry this is off topic.)
Aloha, I’m on my second week of Bikram, tonight was my 7th or 8th class. After tonight’s class, I find the middle of my back sweating and itchy (but nowhere else.) I felt like I stretched more tonight, especially in the spine twisting poses. I’ve been bathing after every class, but bought a back scrubber today because of the itchiness in my mid back that I have noticed this week. I use a clean towel every class on my mat. I wonder if the poses are causing a nerve-based itchiness (it’s not terrible.) Maybe new circulation is getting to new areas? I was quite sedentary before starting this class.
