    Thanks again for your response, Gabrielle. I now just lift my leg and don’t even attempt to bend forward – this is a challenge in itself for me!

    Gabrielle,
    Thank you for your response! The thermometer is in a room off of the reception room – it is used only by the staff so I can’t check. Whenever I ask, they tell me that the temperature is within the normal guidelines … and that this is “hot yoga” and the room is supposed to be hot! I’ve been going to class there very regularly (@5 times weekly) for one year and the hearing issue has happened 3 or 4 times – always on days when I perceive the temp to be excessive. It’s from my body temp getting too high, I think. The instructors have suggested I bring a thermometer to class and I am planning to do so. Maybe I’m just one of those individuals who can’t tolerate the heat well (they tell me it’s in my head!). I also need to monitor my “Type A” actions and hold back when I’m feeling overheated.

    I just can’t understand why they need to make it so hot that folks can’t do all the poses without dropping … And I was concerned that I was harming myself by allowing my body to react in this way. Maybe my timpanic membrane is expanding from the heat and clogs my hearing temporarily?

    I have a similar problem but it’s not from sweat getting in my ears … when the temperature/humidity in our studio is very high (witness everyone “dropping like flys” … and I am having a reaction to the extreme heat (dizziness), I occassionally experience muffled hearing. It’s as though my ears become stuffed up and hearing is like being under water. It’s def not from sweat – it’s from the heat and will clear after class withing about 5 minutes.

    Does this sound dangerous to you? Am I putting my hearing at risk by going in the hot room?

    Are there positions where it bad to both tighten your core AND your buttocks …?? When I do that in standing head to knee, I regularly injure my back/SI joint.
