Hot Yoga and heavy breathers

[LunaTheCat]

I went to my first hot yoga class today but bloody hell the heavy breathers! Been to lots yoga and I have never experienced anything like this! It was the blokes, the women where inhaling/exhaling quietly but the few blokes - I honestly felt like a voyeur at a swingers club. It was just awful! Should I raise it with the owners of the studio or should I just get a life - and keep well away from the blokes on the floor.

Was it Ujjayi breathing?

I definitely wouldn't raise it with the owners of the studio! It's quite commonplace. I don't do it but many do, male and female.

I love hot yoga but it is pretty gross, sweaty, smelly and heavy breathing is to be expected! It doesn’t bother me as I love the intensity of the exercise but I can understand why it wouldn't be for everyone
