I am fairly new to hot yoga…. I’ve been doing HY for about 5 weeks now… Unfortunately my practice has been sporadic, once a week here, twice a week there… but last week I went 4 times…

I am now feeling much like the person in the original post on this thread. BLOATED and gross. My jeans feel tighter and I feel icky and swollen.

I try to drink at least a liter and a half before class during the day… I drink almost a liter during… and also about 1 after. Sometimes I can only drink like a half liter before class.

I am now concerned that my sodium is out of whack or my body is trying to get used to the extreme heat. I see some recomendations about increasing electrolytes… but how? Would Pedialyte work? Gatorade? Are there vitamins that contain sodium?
