I admire you for doing so.

I have no idea if sweating does all those things though I agree it's more likely the exercise creating the sweat that is the benefit.<br /><br />I went to a couple of Hatha yoga classes while away, but there was no sweating involved.

I don't like to feel sweaty but I do sweat heavily when I exercise. I can't stand to be hot, so hot yoga is not for me. I like to exercise in a cool place or walk in cool weather. My walk this afternoon in a windy 48 degrees was just right.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
