Hot yoga notes:
I felt good going through the first parts of the hour long class. The energy and tempo of the music and voice of our instructor were unfamiliar, quick and bright. Halfway through class I became nauseous. Higher Power's sense of humor at play. I know better than to eat or drink before hot yoga, yet after a meditation at 6 am, drinking a beet juice smoothie sounded like an excellent idea!
I've been nauseous after hot yoga a couple of times. During class was a first. Glad to keep the beet juice down. Glad to be comfortable with taking the class at my pace and glad to have great instructors who encourage this.
Viparita Karani, shavasana, happy baby poses and connected breathing/energy/muscle techniques I've learned were very helpful!
