Hello Victoria,

I just wanted to say that I’ve been searching the internet with the same problems. Since I started hot yoga I’ve experience swollen feet and ankles, sometimes my knees. I even went to get my blood checked, because it swelled so much so it hurt to walk. I had been doing hot yoga for 4 months and decided to cancel my membership. Truth is, the swelling immediately stopped. I’m confident I was having some type of reaction to hot yoga. Perhaps it was the joints and liquids spreading that caused it. It never was painful other than the bottom of my foot being stretched. Good to know whatever it was stopped once I stopped the hot yoga. Thank you.

Hi,

Great website!

I am a new hot yoga devotee. I notice that my feet and ankles are swollen in class. Normally I have bony feet and tiny ankles. Since starting the practice 5 weeks ago, they have definitely gotten larger. I recently had to stop practice for 1 week and my feet and ankles returned to their former size. Any thoughts on this?

Also, is this likely happening throughout my body? Initially I lost 5 lbs from my practice but then the weight returned…although I am hoping it returned more in the form of muscle.

Thanks and namaste.

Victoria
