Yes, I am perfectly aware that I'm going to sound crazy, but I was actually cold in bikram last.
It was dry and the heat kept going in and out. It was totally cold.
To make myself sound less crazy, I would like to point out that the other work study gal also felt the coldness. The new people probably didn't feel the chill.
From Bikramyoga.com's FAQ's:
7. What is the recommended room temperature for Bikram Yoga?
|
| The recommended temperature is minimum 105F degrees and about 40% humidity.
The room is kept at this temperature or more for the following: - Keeping the body from overheating (contrary to popular misconception)
- Protecting the muscles to allow for deeper stretching
- Detoxing the body (open pores to let toxins out)
- Thinning the blood to clear the circulatory system
- Increasing heart rate for better cardiovascular workout
- Improving strength by putting muscle tissue in optimal state for reorganization
- Reorganize the lipids (fat) in the muscular structure

Notice the highlighted part. My muscles were not protected last night and everything hurts (times 10). I had faux protection. I was hot, but not hot enough. Woe is me, or should I say woe are my muscles.
/end rant
Has anyone experienced "cold spots" or a cold room? How did it affect your practice?
