5 Helpful Tips for Practicing Bikram Yoga in the Summer...
1. Hydrate Properly. Please drink between 24-32 oz of water before class. Bring water to class in a stainless steel water bottle. Drink between 24-32 oz after class for each hour of practice.
2. Replenish Electrolytes. They include: potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium. Other than in food and vitamins, electrolytes are found in: Trace Minerals, Vitacoco Coconut Water, ReCharge, EmergenC packets, Cytomax, Vitamin Water, Gatorade, and SmartWater. We sell most of these at the studio!
3. Maintain Proper Nutrition. Since you burn ~800 calories in one Bikram Yoga class, you need fuel to burn. If you did not get a chance to eat enough or are fasting, please do not take class. An empty stomach is recommended before class although if you have a high metabolism, light foods easily digested are ok to consume as late as 45 minutes before class: fruit (apple with peanut/almond butter), Sweet Salvation bars, nut mix, avocado, carrots or celery with hummus,...
4. Yoga Attire. Sweating is the body's primary defense against over-heating and bare skin allows your body to release more heat. Ladies and gentlemen, now is the perfect time to bust out the short shorts; we have a beautiful selection for all shapes and sizes! Also, please refrain from covering your head- this includes bandanas.
5. Caffeine. Caffeine is a diuretic and a stimulant. A diuretic increases excretion of water from the body. Drinking lots of caffeine can lead to dehydration. Consider cutting back on your caffeine intake and increase your water consumption. Water flushes away toxins and keeps your brain sharp!

| TOP 6 Reasons to Practice Bikram Yoga in the Summer...
1. When you first walk into the yoga room, it actually feels cooler than outside! Piece of cake!
2. When you leave the yoga room, the outside feels cooler than inside! So you are getting best of both worlds! Bikram Yoga makes the summer more manageable!
3. The relentless heat of AZ summers can leave you feeling sluggish. Every time you take class you fill your "gas tank" by hyper-oxygenating the nerves and blood vessels in your body.
4. Your body is more warmed up before class. Muscles are more relaxed in the heat. In the afternoon classes especially, you may find that you are more flexible and go deeper in the postures since your body had all day to warm up.
5. Cool off and wash your yoga mat in the pool after class! Yoga mats should be cleaned after every class. Use mild soap and water and/ or spray down with water and tea tree oil, a natural disinfectant.
6. You will look and feel more confident in your skin, and of course your swimsuit!
Testimonials about the Heat
1. I SAVE MONEY! I have been practicing regularly at BYT for the past year. I used to keep my house at 65 degrees and my air conditioning bills would escalate to $400/month! Now that I am acclimated to the heat, it does not bother me anymore. I keep my house at 79 and my bill has been cut in half! I save $200 month!
~ Deborah L.
2. After one year of consistent practice at BYT (2-4 times per week), I have a
completely new body and mental fortitude. My attitude, balance and
flexibility are better than they have ever been. My outlook on life
(& golf) are at a whole new level now.
Last year, Nike Golf hired me as a Technical/Demo Rep, so I spend a lot more time outside. In years past, the heat from our Arizona summers wore me down so much I'd lose my mental clarity, patience and physical strength during a lesson or a round. In addition to a new body, improved golf game, patience with others and self, one of the most glaring benefits I have noticed is how little the AZ summers and heat effect me now.
If you think that doing hot Bikram Yoga in the summer is silly or doesn't make sense, think again. It makes the summers much more bearable! ~ Charles A.
