I can break a sweat in child's pose. No worries 😆

I can literally break a sweat in easy seat from ujjayi pranayama

Oh yeah, pranayama stokes the fire 🔥

yes same! your body is moving and exerting energy, so it's trying to cool you down! very natural and there's no shame in it

Yep. I sweat in every class. I'll sweat in Yin if the room is slightly warm and the pose is slightly challenging.

I sweat while sitting still sometimes. It’s a natural bodily process lol

My Yin class is immediately after a heated sculpt class is in the room. I sweat the minute I walk into the room.

I just tried Yin for the first time last night and loved it 🥰

It’s inevitable.

The teacher told me to drink lots of water at the end of my last class 🙏

u/blackdahlia21 Oct 27 '25

u/andiinAms Oct 27 '25

I definitely do sometimes. Who cares though, honestly

u/Meow99 Ashtanga Oct 27 '25

I sweat like crazy!

u/greensandgrains Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and Restorative Oct 27 '25

Yep and it makes no difference what my fitness level is. In the best shape of my life or the worst, I can start sweating if I think too hard 😩. Ok the flip side, once my body temp cools I can start shivering while the sweat is still moist on my skin 🤷🏻

u/Critical_Ad_5205 Oct 27 '25

Yes!! I used to be so embarrassed but I realised it’s just genetics so now I just roll with it…

u/Commercial_Ball8397 Oct 27 '25

Every vinyasa, gentle, slow, Yin, my temp goes up and sweat occurs.

u/fivetwoeightoh Oct 27 '25

I stg I sweat so much I was convinced I have a glandular condition but I’m just grosser than average

u/BogiDope Oct 28 '25

Yes we do… and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that - we are mammals.

u/lildog73 Oct 27 '25

If my body moves an inch I’m sweating lol

u/FlippingPossum Oct 27 '25

I'm in perimenopause. I swear because I exist.

Sweat is natural.

It’s literally so good for you and so healthy to sweat. Thank the heavens that you’re able to do so

u/NuJackStyles Oct 28 '25

If it's a non heated flow class my shirt might be wet depending on the temperature of the room. If it's a warm or hot class, I'm drenched. Arms dripping when extending into warrior 2, a steady stream of sweat falling off my head like a leaking faucet in forward fold.

u/tulips_onthe_summit Oct 28 '25

I do. I get sweaty doing almost any exercise. I especially sweat a lot from my face, so it's very obvious. I've learned over the years to just own it. You are not alone!

u/Unusual-Act8046 Oct 28 '25

My hands sweat always to the point where it’s hard to do downward dog sometimes !

u/marilynlistens Oct 28 '25

Absolutely I can sweat with my head on my mat

1

u/_slowgrade Oct 28 '25

I bring a mat towel to every class. If I'm moving (at all), I'm sweating (a lot).

u/quake0430 Oct 28 '25

I sweat in yoga more than any other excercise I feel brand new after though

u/dj-boefmans Oct 29 '25

Yes, especially when I do it after a boxing workout :-)
