Hydration After Yoga: What Your Body Needs

Rehydrating After My Practice

After a strong practice, I noticed dull headaches. The reason? Dehydration. Yoga, even slow flows, leads to water loss, and rehydration is essential post-practice.

Why Hydrate Post-Yoga?

  • Replenishes fluids lost through sweat.
  • Aids recovery and muscle function.
  • Supports digestion and detox.

Best Post-Yoga Hydration Options:

  • Coconut water (electrolytes + hydration)
  • Warm herbal teas (ginger, chamomile)
  • Infused water (lemon-mint-cucumber)
  • Plain water (sipped slowly)

Simple Post-Yoga Hydration Recipe:

Lemon-Mint Water

  • 1 jug water
  • Few lemon slices
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Optional: pinch of pink salt for electrolytes
    Steep for 15 minutes and sip post-practice.

Closing Reflection

Hydration is a ritual of self-respect, helping your body continue its healing and balancing process after yoga.
