It could be several things. I'll start with the most obvious aspect

of room temp. Make sure to cut the air conditioner off when you

practice. If their are other people in the house, open the window

in your practice room. If you are not holding mula and uddiyana

bandha(I'm sure I spelled those wrong, but too lazy to look it up)

and breathing continuously throuhout the practice, you can loose

heat. The actual physical poses may be getting easier for you and

the heat you experianced at first may have been from sheer exertion

alone. Now that the postions are coming easier, you are loosing

that exertion heat. That is where concentration, bandhas and

breathing come in. They will keep the heat up. Also make sure that

you are practicing awareness when you do your poses. Your body and

your mind should not be lazy. Everything should be involved in the

practice. Dont forget the drishti.

 

I know that in my practice, the minute I loose concentration, I

loose heat. Keep your focus and you should get your heat back.

mentioned.
