It is advised not to eat at least three hours before attending Bikram (a shortened name for Bikram yoga class) because it can lead to one feeling nauseous. Yet, since my studio decided to torture us in new ways by cranking up the heat I have felt dizzy half way through the standing series. I'm usually reluctant to sit down but this dizziness generally takes the form of impaired vision and as such I'm forced to give into it, sit down and feel completely dejected - not good!
I've found the solution to be eating a snack just before yoga. An hour or so before the class begins. While I wouldn't advocate it for everyone it's worked for both me and my yoga companion (read "mum"). Heavy food doesn't work well, a small bowl of rice and a sandwhich suffices. And of course at least 1.5 litres of water throughout the day before said class!
