Nitin: Drink lukewarm water and take tablet of shilajeet and makardhwaj and "chyawanprash"daily
Clara: Wear a kind of wrap around your waist to keep your womb warm. Coldness can start in the womb. Also, foot baths and wear socks.
Chetankumar: Should try Kapalbhati Pranayam and then followed by Uddiyana Bandg in Yoga.
Jacquie: Scarf, room temp water, Ginger tea, take a break from cold foods like salad warm soups are good even in summer
Lynette: Ujjayi breathing usually does the trick for me
Mei: get hold of ayurveda literature which gives u detailed description of the doshas contained in food, i e food the different natural qualities contained in foods, earth, water, air, fire and space. let that be your guide to to your daily food intake.
Bharat: few things that'll help for sure :
- give up your love for 0% body fat, we need to have about 12-15% at least... lesser than that is harmful in long run.
- give up cold water, only room temp water
- add ginger roots to your diet, either in tea (not ginger tea, but add actual juicy root when boiling), some black pepper powder too... developing taste for them is needed
- wear comfortably loose (and little thicker cotton clothes)... no synthetics
- start taking cold water bath, no warm or hot water bath.... and this is very imp
- start doing bhaskri pranayam, if you can find proper way of doing it
these will show effect within a week's time... and your body can take upto a month's time to get accustomed.... god bless
love for 0% body fat (if you have any)
* you must add pranayam to daily routine, if you're doing it regularly.... you can't just start doing any pranayam.... it'll do more harm than cure if not done properly.... do other things, but pranayam if you're not practicing already...
Niranjan: Do Suryanamaskars daily. They heat up the body.
Patricia: Doing your daily practice breathing through the nose using ujjayi pranayama is an excellent way to purify the body increasing the heat and entering into a meditation state.
Shoumava: right nostril breathing
Suguna: Ujjayi breath ....practicing Bikram yoga as well
Mohammed: breathing inhale 8 count , hold breath in 3 count , exhale 8 count ,,,concetrate for 10 min ,,,, when i do it i feel heat all the day ,,, but we live in warm country ,, try it
Susan: Kundalini yoga builds tremendous inner heat. Breath of fire while doing various kriyas. Would stay away from Bikram. Possibly Vinyassa Flow -- but sitll think that pranayama is key to really generating warmth.
Niranjan: Sleep predominantly on the left side of the body. This results in the right nostril becoming more active and hence the prana starts flowing in the Surya Naadi and will result in increased heat in the body.

I just signed in for sustaining practice at one of the local Yoga Studios, as there are not that many choices, as time and distance are important too I have signed into a studio that is based much onto Bikram Style
As I am Indian trained RYT200 certificate holder myself, I started after yesterdays session, to have doubts, about the health benefits of this particular Yoga-Style Aerobics in Sauna conditions, and getting really curious about proper monitoring of the climatic conditions in the premises of practice... as I am aware that in places with opposite, dry dessert style conditions, there are humidifiers in use!
Here we are in the tropics, naturally normal temperatures are around 33-35°C and a relative Humidity 80-85 % already, if I practice at home, I tend to sweat a lot already, without any artificial heating, like yesterday's session, I was, after about 60 min practice. first time really exhausted, because it felt like I did breathe steam instead of oxygen (FORGET PRANA!) and felt to break my practice, but rested and kept on going and I was fine, on top it seemed that the person leading the practice, wasn't aware or didn't wanted to take notice of my condition...... but kept pushing on.
I am concerned about these heaters, uncontrolled blowing hot air into an already quite hot environment, if this isn't proper monitored, or the system is malfunctioning, without anybody registering, it would probably be the very opposite of "health" promoting exercise, don't even want to think about mold, germs and bacteria flourishing in this "greenhouse" environment....
Is anyone aware about the climatic values/rules, are there any set conditions for the training facility, or does this all happen by rule of thumb"?
Would be more than happy to have some constructive points of view on this...
Dhanyawad and
Namastasje!
