Stay hydrated

Regardless of the type of yoga you practice, staying hydrated is one of the best tips for yoga beginners. While drinking while yoga is not suggested, there are various ways to stay hydrated during your practice. Start sipping a 16-ounce bottle of water about an hour before class, for example. To replace fluids, drink another 20 ounces once you've done your yoga class.

It's unlikely that you'll need to hydrate during your yoga practice if you start each day by drinking warm water and sipping it before (not after) meals and intermittently during the day. Slowly sipping eight ounces of water at least 30 minutes before a fast-paced yoga practice will help you stay hydrated. Avoid drinking water right before or during class if possible. In addition to making our physical bodies feel inflated, consuming large amounts of water before or during a practice interferes with our energy bodies

Take a moment to check in with your body if you do feel thirsty during doing strenuous yoga poses. If the sensation lingers after a few deep breaths, make drinking water a part of your practice; sip thoughtfully, and don't allow drinking to be a distraction to yourself or others.
