Fitness experts say hot yoga is contraindicated for heart problems
The fitness experts at Shape magazine talked about the health risks of hot yoga. This was reported on the publication’s website.
According to experts, the risk of dehydration increases during practices, as they are often carried out at extremely high temperatures. In addition, when performing hot yoga asanas, some people experience an increase in body temperature and a sharp increase in heart rate, which can be dangerous in case of heart problems.
It is noted that people suffering from asthma, cardiovascular disease, intolerance to high temperature or high blood pressure should consult a doctor before starting classes. Pregnant women should also make sure that there are no contraindications.
Earlier, trainer Katya Guru spoke about yoga exercises that are useful for the elderly. She named the cat pose for flexibility of the spine and youthfulness of the body, half-lotus for strengthening the abdominal muscles, and shavasana for relaxation as the most suitable asanas.
