Yoga Gas Chamber

Friday l Day 78

Walked into the studio. It was like walking into a gas chamber. Did one breathing pose and had to walk out.

Came back at 4:30 pm it was worse.

Extra aromatheraphy oil is burning in the class.

Did a 90 minute class by holding my breathe.

no ability to breathe or balance - plus major headache.

The heat rises the molecules, they catch the trade winds from the cieling fan and it gets whipped across the entire classroom.

I'll need to quit the studio or get a mask.

The EPA says this about particulant matter in the air: " Particulate matter" also known as Particle pollution is a complex mixture of extremely small particles and liquid droplets,. Particle Pollution is made up of a number if components, including acids, ( such as nitrates and sulfates) organic chemicals, metals, and soil or dust particles. The size of the particles is directly linked to their potential for causing health problems, Small particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter pose the greatest problems, because they can get deep into your lungs and some may even get into your bloodstream. Exposure to such particles can affect both your lungs and your heart. Particles of concern include " inhalable particles PM, such as those found near roadways and dusty industries, which are 10 micrometers in diameter and smaller and fine particles or PM " ( such as those found in smoke and haze) which are 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller.

Yoga tip of the day: don't have tip, only headache.
