Hi all,

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween last night.

I am getting my treatment from both endocrinologist and naturopath.
My endocrinologist okayed me to continue whatever sports activity I’ve been doing; dance, gym, yoga, etc. He also told me I can continue to eat whatever I want.

My naturopath told me, to refrain from hot yoga, but rather switch to a regular yoga, like Vinyasa, Ashtanga; even better, go for meditation – yoga, if such class is offered. Her reason being the heat will trigger the hyperthyroid symptoms, which is why she wouldn’t recommend me to continue hot yoga.

What do you guys think of her advice??
I LOOOOVE hot yoga, especially in winter and early spring.

Please share me your thoughts on this.

Thank you,

Shakira

If your symptoms are not so bad right now they could get worse with hot yoga, I am a dancer and I think by pushing myself I got worse in a matter of weeks! I would not push yourself physically until your levels are better. I know how hard it is. We have a show coming up and I had to remove myself from the line-up. I feel like a failure. But I’m with you on wanting to do something active. Let’s make a pact not to push ourselves until our levels are better!
