    For my 4:00 pm class I begin hydrating in the morning, consuming about 48 ounces throughout the course of the day,to the point where I am using the bathroom about once an hour…ss I believe that I am getting enough.

    Thanks Gabrielle for the response. I have blood work done on a regular basis, but not for those items that you mentioned. As for the class, I notice that my mat is significantly wetter than those around me by the end of standing head to knee pose. (Although it may serve me better to keep me eyes on my own eyes). I don’t have any basis for comparison on the heat of the studio, as this is the only one that I have practiced in. I drink about 2 litres of water during the class, and seem to be the first to refill my water bottle after class. I have noticed that the night sweating usually continues for several nights after a class, decreasing in severity until dissapearing after a week if I haven’t returned to a class. I had mentioned it to my doctor, they tested me for Tb which I was negative for. If it continue I may return to my doctor to request the other bloodwork that you suggested. Thanks for your help, and BTW, after ordering your Masterclass book, I have made wonderful improvements to my practice. Thank you for a wonderful book!

    I have practicing Bikram Yoga for about 6 months and have began experiencing night sweats the last several months, and I hadn’t before. I awaken in the middle of the night with the sheets and blanket drenched, me soaking wet; and feeling amped up to the point of it affecting my returning to sleep. I hydrate throughout my class day. I also bring at least 2 litres of water to class, sweating much more profusely than the folks around me. I then supplement with additional water and gatorade after class. Could there be any correlation with it being winter and lack of sunlight and Vitamin D? Do I need further supplementation of electrolytes? I love my Bikram yoga practice, however this new after effect of the the class has me considering stopping my practice. Help.
