Hydration and Electrolyte Replacement
It is very important to keep yourself well hydrated and to replace the loss of electrolytes (body salts and minerals) lost during a hot yoga class through your sweat. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance go hand in hand. Water alone is insufficient!!! Please replace the sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium in your body.
