Dizzy and yawning

I practice yoga regularly once a week. Today I suddennly became dizzy, nauseous and then started yawning uncontrollably for several minutes. Thinking I was going to be sick, I left the room for a drink of cold water. The dizzy and nauseous feeling continued for more than 30 minutes after and I wasn’t able to return to the class. (The room is air conditioned.) Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know what might be going on? Thanks in advance!

Smurfette,

I’d love to help you through this one.
Please provide more information; how long you’ve been practicing, what style, your age and gender (though I assume you are female).

Nausea can occur as there is release in the body - physical, emotional etcetera. It could just be toxins (which might be a reflection of your diet and or lifestyle). This may not be the case though. I’d like to know what you are doing before the nausea and tell me about the nature of your breathing?

With that I can help more fully.
