A Dizzying Bikram Class.

Oh tonight was not a pretty night in Bikram. Not pretty at all.

No, I wasn't dehydrated. In fact, I didn't feel much a need to drink water in class because all I had eaten at work today was raw veggies and water. But I had dizzy-spell after dizzy spell during class.

It started in Standing-Head-to-Knee pose. I was able to get put my forehead to my knee and hold still for a few seconds. Then I fell out and saw blackness. I was breathing steady, but everything went black and I fell to my knees. Hands shaking. Breath steady.

I got up again for Standing Bow Pulling pose. This is one of my best poses. But again, I saw blackness and fell forward. This happened all throughout the rest of class. I had to struggle to do one full set of a posture.

I knew what it was... I had had it before... It was low blood pressure. Or at least that is what it felt like. I couldn't even lay on my back in Savasna without seeing blackness. I had to lay on my side.

Tomorrow will be better though. I am sure.
