    Hi Angela! We have the exact same problem, the way you are describing it is just as if you were reading my thoughts!
    Now it’s a little bit better. I just finished a 30 days challenge a couple of weeks ago (what a wonderful experience!0 and during the challenge, my eyes were almost normal. Then I had a week off and this week I practiced 4 days and they started to get purulent again but less than they used to.
    I’m guessing the key is to practising more and more 🙂
    To answer to you Gabrielle, my acupuncturist believes it’s an allergy but I really doubt it since I’ve never had any allergy at all.
    About my stomach issues, following his advices, I’m being careful (but not drastic!) with sugar, fat, salt, milk, meat, tea, alcohol, fruits and I stopped crudities, coffee, lime. I was taking sea magnesium, silica and other vitamins and minerals but my 2 months treatment is now over.
    My stomach is getting worse this week but it’s probably because of Christmas and new year’s eve (and all the rich food and alcohol that goes along!).
    So if I sum this all up : this week my eyes and stomach got worse a little bit and I finished my treatment.
    My stomach issue is more likely to be caused by stress, it began while having a hard time in my relationship, followed by my dear grandmother passing away…
    I hope this all will be over soon, now that I have find more balance and peace in my life.
    Oh! and BTW, happy new year to all of you wonderful yoga people !!

    Hello Gabrielle,
    I’ve tried to shower before class but it didn’t change anything. The good thing is that I started to stop closing my eyes to avoid sweat and it made no difference so at least, it dosn’t affect my practise anymore.
    The “salt theme” is interesting because I actually started to see an acupuncturist because of acidity in my stomach (3rd gastritis in 18 months)and he suggested I cut back on salt.
    What do you think i should do ?

    Oh and i’ve never had serious issues with my eyes, only a “chalazion” a month ago. I don’t use lenses either.

    Hi Gabrielle!
    Thanks for your answer!
    I’ve been practicing bikram yoga for 5 years but it’s only 4 months since i started being regular (2-4 times a week).
    As long as I can remember, I’ve had this problem.
    It’s not really that my eyes sting and it never starts during class. I drink only water or tea before class, water during and water or coconut water after.
    I always shower at the studio, right after class.
    Tomorrow i’ll try to shower before class as you suggested and i’ll tell you.
    And also, I don’ put too much salt in my food…
    I’ll tell you what happens !!
    Namaste
