Toilet Breaks

In Bikram toilet breaks are heavily frowned upon, that's an understatement, the instructor will normally name and shame the person sheepishly trying to exit the room. I don't have a problem with people doing this, it may distract others but I find it somewhat hilarious that these people are usually the yoga veterans!

What I do take issue with, as someone who hides near the door, is that as they re-enter the studio they don't put the towel under the door, thus allowing a draught to enter. For health purposes this could get into your bones, it also nulifies the benefit of being in a sauna!

Recently I've actually enjoyed the heat. For various reasons it is never constant and I feel myself having a better class the hotter the room. I sweat from every pore of my body. When I go back home I proudly show my sweat drenched t-shirt as a badge of honour, returning exhausted like a soldier from war. I am denied this ritual by those that have weak bladders!
