Namaste Mukunda,
For the past several months (not just in winter), I have been getting a hot red itchy hive (some have been the size of a domino, some the size of my palm - but it’s always just one big one, not a patch of smaller bumps) on areas of the body after an extremely deep stretch or compression. For instance, I got one on my left forearm today after you led us through shoulderstand. They’ve also shown up on my calf during a warrior hold, inner thigh after lotus, and sides, but not necessarily every time I do certain asana or even every yoga session.
What might be causing this sort of inflammatory response?
Many thanks. I cannot express how much I enjoyed learning from you this weekend at your Atlanta workshop - it was wonderful.
