Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 I've been doing the first series since Nov. 2000. I keep a pretty steady flow and practice 3-5x a week. Today at 7 am I kept getting dizzy, is this a sign of dehydration? Food poisoning. And no I'm not prego. I'll try again tmrw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 I have the same problem every once in a while (not only during yoga practice) especially after rapid ascends. Medically this is usually explained by changes in your blood pressure, ie your body moves too fast for the blood pressure to adapt to the movement. <br>I've noticed personally that dizziness can also be caused by a too low blood sugar level, so there's too little pure energy in your system, or by a lack of oxygen in the air that you breathe (a familiar problem when you do your practice in a space full of people..the air's sometimes so thick and damp that you could cut it with a knife..). <br>Dehydration usually makes me only tired and my muscles worn-out.. <br>This kind of problems are usually very short-term..So don't skip your practice, it probably won't occur again tomorrow!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 Inermis:<br><br>Mucho gratitude for your informative reply. As it turns out my dizziness was linked to my female cycle and I will not be practising today. This dizziness is a new developement in 20 years or more of other demanding physical practices. My ashtanga practice is now a yardstick in which I can measure my health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2001 Report Share Posted August 11, 2001 -As it turns out my dizziness was linked to my female cycle- <br><br>Being woman myself I would certainly like to know more of this observation! How did you find that out and in what point of the cycle does the dizziness appear?<br><br>Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2001 Report Share Posted August 11, 2001 Sorry, I just read the messages in between about female problems so I guess it's all there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
