‘Party time’ for me felt kind of obligatory until recently (as you probably guessed, I’m pretty new to hot yoga) I was kinda relieved when I realized it wasn’t necessarily better for your body. Now I drink water more throughout the day and I feel better not dealing with the water unless I’m driven to (which isn’t often); it’s way less aggravating this way. but I have another bad habit–toweling off my sweat I especially hate it on my face.

At our studio, they sell an ‘all natural’ sports drink called Zico I absolutely love it. It has a very refreshing taste and replenishes electrolytes as-well. They have a flavored variety as well as pure coconut water. I would recommend it.

Thank you Gabrielle for this advice.
I came here to ask a similar question; I’m glad I did a search first. I was wondering if you had any advice about how your weight should be distributed over your foot/leg in this pose. Should we shift our weight forward over our toes or back over our heels? Or maybe centered evenly? I sometimes think it might even change as you get deeper into the posture since the direction of the force from the working leg changes (i.e. deeper into the posture and closer to ‘standing split’ you have an upward force where as in the beginning there’s more of an outward component from kicking). I’ve been bouncing around quite a bit in this pose (especially standing on the left) since I’ve started focusing on keeping my chin to my shoulder.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated as well as input from others.

Thanks,
