Ayurveda is a sister science of yoga and they work wonderfully together. According to Ayurveda, when overheated, we tend to become more competitive, self-critical, and agitated. In the summertime, yoga practice should be quieting, cooling, and calming. When trying find a balance, remember that “like” increases “like”. Hot Pitta will be aggravated by high temperatures and any sort of fast movement. In other words, yoga class done in a heated room or at a fast pace may be too aggravating to Pitta. The slower the movement, the less agitating to the body and mind. Calming music can be helpful, as well.
