A bump in the road

Day 11 of hot yoga challenge. Last night I decided to do the 8am class today (Sunday.) It was an hour and a half "regular" hot yoga class. Since I skipped yesterday I figured today would be a breeze. Wrong. About 2/3 through the class I started feeling queasy and dizzy and felt my mind begin to panic. It felt extra hot (although I think that was just in my head) and I had a hard time convincing my brain that I'd be fine. I sat out of a few poses, trying to regain my composure. By the end of class I was ready to dash out, slowing down to bend down when I felt so dizzy that I might pass out. Afterward I felt better pretty quick. I have decided that there are a couple of reasons why I had such a hard time. As the instructors often say, your body is different everyday. That alone could explain today. But, I feel like maybe my diet (including that yummy lemon drop from Gino's restaurant) or the fact that I got a flu shot yesterday may have been factors....who knows. Anyway, I survived and I'm ready to get back to noon power yoga tomorrow.
