Is Hot Yoga Suitable for Beginners?

With the development of society, more and more people practice hot yoga in summer. Many friends believe that only those who have a yoga training foundation and rich theoretical knowledge can become hot yoga practitioners. This is a misunderstanding. In fact, hot yoga is not exclusive to those with rich yoga training experience. It is actually particularly suitable for practitioners who are entering a yoga room for the first time. Let’s take a closer look at whether hot yoga is suitable for beginners.

Is Hot Yoga Suitable for Beginners?

Hot yoga is very suitable for beginners to practice, because at the practice temperature of 38 to 40 degrees Celsius, the basic functions of the human body are in an excited state, and the physiological characteristics are: accelerated blood circulation, active cardiopulmonary function, increased secretion of lubricating fluid in the human joints, etc. At this time, the human body can quickly enter the formal training state. Conducting yoga training in such an environment can greatly reduce the chance of injury to beginner yoga practitioners when performing movements.

However, before doing hot yoga, it is best for practitioners not to eat, otherwise the stomach will not get enough blood supply during the digestion process, resulting in an "oxygen debt" phenomenon, feeling dizzy, nauseous, and tachycardia.

In addition, you must replenish water in time while practicing hot yoga. A high temperature environment will cause practitioners to sweat profusely. While sweat takes away water, it also causes a large amount of inorganic salts and minerals in the body to be lost. Long-term training in a dehydrated state will cause practitioners to experience symptoms of dehydration: fatigue, cramps, etc. Therefore, when practicing hot yoga, you should drink water in small amounts and multiple times, and be careful not to drink a large amount of water at one time. In addition, do not drink too much purified water, because purified water will wash away minerals in the body. It is best to drink sports drinks rich in electrolytes and minerals.

People who suffer from certain chronic diseases for a long time should not practice hot yoga, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, epilepsy, kidney disease, etc. These patients must consult a doctor before doing any fitness exercises. Some patients with acute illnesses, such as colds, fevers, etc., should not do hot yoga. This is because, practicing hot yoga in a weak body is not conducive to recovery, and acute patients practicing hot yoga are prone to dehydration, which brings unexpected troubles.

The above is all about whether hot yoga is suitable for beginners. Yoga beginners don’t have to worry, hot yoga is very suitable for beginners to practice. Of course, during normal training, you should pay attention to your own adaptability to avoid muscle injuries, proceed step by step, and don't rush for quick results. Finally, I hope everyone can succeed in fitness.
