I LOVE the direction this is going….. if you are comfy nothing else matters. When I look in the mirror I am happy w/ not only what I see but WHO I see. That is the most important thing to me. I am at peace w/ my body not just despite my imperfections but BECAUSE of them… they make me me. Good for you and keep it up.

I hear you…. I am really flex. in my legs (and short too LOL so that DOES help) and going into this I focus on feeling first a nice pull and lengthen in my legs and hips then I stretch my spine downward and get a beautiful release and lengthening through my spine. It feels like I am hanging from a bar and letting each notch in my spine grow apart.
I do love this one

well …. you can three things that I can think of
1. wear clothing w/ built in underwear
2. a g-string (which has its own + and – )
3. cope w/ the undies as best you can 🙁

I myself go commando in my yoga shorts and find the only camel I need to worry about is the posture! (LOL SORRY)
Long story I find it comfy and don’t find anything ‘mixing’ twisting or chaffing.

Hello
I wanted to throw out my experience w/ knee pain and alignment. As we all know our feet effect our ankle in turn effect our knee which goes to our hip and lower back rest of spine ect….. When I broke my hip I discovered (after a long time walking with pain in my knee LOL) that my where my ‘new’ hip was, was not the same!. The gait I was used to was in turn causing my knee to do a slight twist tot he outside. My standing head to knee and bow and tree and eagle were ALL very effected and did not feel right in the knee OR hip. I was so focused on the healing of my hip and keeping it straight, but once I realized what was happening I shifted my alignment FOCUS. Rather than working from hips down I worked from feet up! Just food for thought. Does that make sense?
PS Now I have NO pain in my knee

this is a post close to heart for me because I was treated overnight in the hospital for low sodium (117) this can happen I was told by the docs two ways….. one sudden and the other chronic or over a period of time. I CAN NOT nor will I attempt to speak for your experience but here is what my case was like…………
I too was getting slowly more drained and tired and unable to sleep
I was up ALL hours as you said peeing AND TMI but having problems holding my bladder in some cases
I did not have the extreme loss of fluid (ie tears and sweat) as you described but I DID gain 5 lbs in water weight
one day all of a sudden I got really fuzzy and funny and I knew something was really wrong. I drove to the ER and was treated. Told to take tablets as you were and given a better education about the amount of I water I actually do need in a day (even on Bikram days) 2 litres w/o class and 3 w class MAX not the 4-6 I was drinking LOL Long story short … I was drinking too much water and diluting my blood sodium,
Now I take one tab before and one after limit my water to a more appropriate amount and after over a month of a 6x per week practice and 3 tests… I come back a SOLID 139 and feel GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so pleased to hear from you and that things are still moving forward for you. My new email is [email protected] and I would love to keep in touch.

I have heard a lot about coconut water and did look into it but it just did not feel right…… can you tell me more? Mabe I was looking at a different form of it ………

I have just a regular home model we got from home depot. I do love it in the dry winter but the one down side is they do blow a cooler air and it tends to drop the temp so you just have to experiment w/ it good luck

i too see the blue oms FYI

i see my doc and ask for a FULL electrolyte test (blood and urine work up)

I myself shower right away… though by the time I do get tot he shower I am air dried so to speak!! When I get out of class I put my stuff away get my shower stuff out and go to the bathroom ect…
I noticed in the studio it’s about 50 – 50 people who shower there and those that leave,

thanks chronic!!! I have a heater in my sauna as well as a another on the floor that I THINK is like what you are talking about.
