More yoga equals more yellow pee? (in beginning)

Yoga Discussion General Yoga

I’ve been practicing yoga for the last 3 months but really intesified my practice the last 2 weeks with an average of about 10hours of yoga a week including headstands and many inversions. I’ve noticed my urine has been alot more yellow the past couple of days? Does this make sense?

I have always drank a lot of water, at least 20cups(8oz) a day… so my urine is always near clear so… I quickly noticed the past couple of days where it has been yellow at times during the day. Very unusual from my norm.

If you are doing more exercise than previously then you need to drink more water as you are probably sweating more.

I live in Asia and it is hot and only changes between humid and dry…and sometimes a little less hot…since living here I have to drink much more water than when living in cold UK…and when doing a strenuous yoga practice…even more…
I feel that I drink a lot of water and my pee is very pale but my partner drinks a great deal more than me (and constantly nags me to drink more) but his pee is often darker than mine…
Each person is different and needs different amounts if water…just try drinking a bit more so you are happy with your pee colour…but remember that the kidneys do need to sleep and so do you…if you are getting up several times a night to pee…you are either over doing it or something is wrong.
