Drinking water

March 17, 2008

namas te there is no logic in syaing dont drink water during the class!! of course it is sipping water and not gulping it down i have no idea how it can shock the system! water is essential to life and every cell needs it there is a lot of confusion in the modern yoga circles and lot of mis-information pl keep sipping water during the class and be healthy no danger from it at all swamijis advise on post metabloci activity is clear depening on whether we want to lose weight or gain the hatha yoga heats up the body if it is hectic and the water cools the ststem if people want only heat then for them water has no value from thei limited view we alwyas want balance and so the idea of Gitananda Yoga is to be balanced as much as possible at all times much love anandaAnandhi Kontaxaki

not to, because I shock my system. She said that we should dring water only half an hour after the hatha Yoga class. I have also some students that they refuse to drink water during our lessons because they are told the same from another Yoga teacher in the past. I understand that this has a logical base but.... I always ask our students to bring water with them, and we all drink water during the asanas. There are some that started dringing water again in their lifes because of that! If they will not drink water during the class, they would never do! What can I answer to that theory? Do we really drink water during the asanas practice in Gitananda Yoga Tradition? If yes, does drinking water

stops the Post Metabilic Activity that Swamiji mentions to the Yoga Step By Step course?
