Summertime Sweat: Staying Cool in a Hot Studio

Summertime Sweat: Staying Cool in a Hot Studio

It might seem counterintuitive to go into a 105-degree room when it's 90 degrees outside in Brooklyn. However, practicing hot yoga in the summer is one of the best ways to regulate your body’s internal thermostat.

Heat Acclimation

Regular practice at Yoga Tribe Brooklyn helps your body become more efficient at cooling itself down. This process, called heat acclimation, makes those humid July days on the subway much more bearable. You’ll find that you sweat sooner and more effectively, preventing the "heat exhaustion" feeling that many New Yorkers experience.

Summer Nutrition

During the hotter months, focus on "cooling" foods like watermelon, cucumber, and leafy greens. These provide natural hydration and electrolytes that support your practice. Remember: the better you fuel, the better you'll feel in the hot room.
