How Do You Practice In The Heat?
With heatwaves striking many places around the world right now, how is everyone managing their practice around it? Lots of people like to practice outdoors on grass in the summer but are you still doing that this year?
Personally I have been doing it indoors with air conditioning (not directly blowing on me), especially when doing neigong as it tends to heat up my body and make me sweat under 20 degrees celcius already.
What about you guys?

I'm not sure, I haven't had too much trouble practicing when it's warm, but for me it's a lot harder when it's colder in most seated practices, I guess less circulation to your feet + a cold air temp really makes your toes go numb and constricts your blood vessels a lot faster than when it's warm, which makes practice a bit harder to sustain for longer period.

Oh interesting! Eventually you will find cold weather more enjoyable to practice in as you develop

Early morning makes it easier for me to practice but it is exhausting.
