online yoga forum

I'm quite interested in ayurveda and have heard that pitta people should avoid, all hot things, including dynamic practices like ashtanga and bikram (especially bikram actually) as it just makes their body even hotter? Has anyone else heard this?

I am pitta and enjoy a physical yoga which makes me hot.

I have heard this, but in ayurveda like eveything else, is it important to listen to your own body as everyone is different . If you feel that dynamic practices work for you, then keep doing them. For others the heat might make them agitated/angry etc. (which is the reason why most pittas aren't attracted to hot styles of yoga). Just do what feels right for you.
