Why Is Drinking Water After Hot Yoga Important?

Ever wondered what it's like to do yoga in a sauna? That's essentially hot yoga. Invented in the 1970s, this intense practice involves performing a specific series of 26 yoga poses in a heated room, typically between 104°F and 110°F.

Why the heat? Well, it amps up the intensity. Not only do you get the usual benefits of yoga like stress relief and improved flexibility, but the added heat gives your heart, lungs, and muscles a serious workout. It's like a cardio session and a yoga class all rolled into one.

But be warned: You'll sweat a lot. Like, really a lot. So, staying hydrated is key. After class, aim to drink at least 20 ounces of water. And don't forget to add electrolytes to replenish what you lose.

Can I do yoga after drinking water?

Yes, you can do yoga after drinking water. It's generally recommended to stay hydrated before, during, and after any physical activity, including yoga and hot yoga. It's best to wait for about 15 to 30 minutes after drinking water before starting your yoga practice.
