Why am I dizzy while and after yoga?

[TheDevilInside]

I'm a beginner at yoga, so no hard movements or something.

[Kiwedin]

The same reason I get dizzy when I force myself to go deeper into a back bend lol. You're just having an issue with certain postures and your blood flow, the longer you practice the easier it gets and you won't get dizzy anymore. Just remember to take it slow and go at your own speed. Yoga is one of those things that you don't want to dive in too fast with.

[Mustachekitteh]

If you're doing deep breathing the whole time. That tends to cause dizziness since you're breathing out carbon dioxide faster than the body produces it. Though if you end up holding you're breath most of the time during that could also cause dizziness.

[TheDevilInside]

So... Is it normal?

[Mustachekitteh]

Until you get used to it yeah.

you're dizzy because you're dehydrated.

occurs when you stand up too quickly after spending extended periods of time ; sitting, crouching, yoga positions, etc.

[TheDevilInside]

I drank over 1 Liter of fluids from morning to afternoon, which was when i did the yoga.

[orphan]

U can judge based on the color of your urine. Darker the more dehydrated you are. Should be nearly clear.

You might have low hemoglobin have ur iron checked out

[TheDevilInside]

Could be, yeah... I'll ask my doc

@smahala1991 thanks for the mention
I would imagine you are breathing too hard. It's totally ok to take breaks if you are a beginner until you get used to it.

[TheDevilInside]

OK thanks

[TheDevilInside]

Think I'm breathing too shallowly

[apple24]

well I am starting to work out and sometimes I get dizzy just jogging and walk... but I guess its bc your body not use to it. In a few week it should be good!

[TheDevilInside]

We'll both See about that! Let me know if you want to motivate each other and talk about our workouts!

[apple24]

Ok but I usually just walk n run

[TheDevilInside]

You can do simple body weight exercises to tone up a little

[apple24]

yeah maybe not many that invovles jumping though since I live on the top!

[TheDevilInside]

Try doing the 7-minutes exercise. Only half a minute of jumping Jacks, the Rest are low impact. If you can't jumping, substitute it with something else that gets your heart pumping

[apple24]

yeah! Thanks!

[TheDevilInside]

The offer to motivate each other still stands. Message me any time if you feel like need ing Motivation or anything.

[apple24]

I need motivation right now ):

[TheDevilInside]

Don't skip a day! If you're fed up with your routine, change it up. Do a different thing every day. Download some New workout apps. Try something New. If It's cardio you're looking for, try zumba or dance aerobic. You should have fun while working out.

[apple24]

ONLY thing is I can't afford a dance class!

[TheDevilInside]

Can you afford YouTube? ;) do you have some space in your house?

[apple24]

I can't since I live upstairs!

[TheDevilInside]

Then do it downstairs or at a park

[apple24]

meh!
