Improved self image with little to no actual progress

I'm just posting this to see if others can relate. I had a consistent practice before getting pregnant and almost 2 years later I'm getting back into a routine. I'm far from overweight, but not as lean as I was pre baby. After just a week or two of practices I started seeing myself as more slender and attractive (maybe just more accurately). I do have a history of body dysmorphia that effects my perception. Has anyone else experienced improved self image early on in your yoga journey? What do you think causes this?

Why is Guru Purnima considered the greatest celebration in the Yogic traditions?

We have the International yoga day coming this 21st of July, but it is a far newer celebration. The Guru Purnima has been celebrated in the yogic traditions since time immemorial. What are its significance and how much do you know about it? FYI it is celebrated on the 3rd of July this year.

Hot Vinyasa Feeling Depleted?

I've been practicing yoga 14+ years so I'm no newbie. However, I started going to heated (90 degrees) vinyasa classes and I LOVE it. It feels so good.... until afterwards. A few hours after, I feel SO tired and sometimes get a headache and feel dizzy. Assuming this is because I'm dehydrated, I have been chugging water with Nuun (electrolytes) and coconut water. Nothing has changed my feeling of depletion.. lasting up to 2 days after. I'm upset because it feels so good in the heat and I love the classes... but my body is not responding well to it. Anyone have advice/ thoughts?

Sway backed

Hi everyone 👋 I’m having a really hard time taking deep breaths while seated, and my theory is that it’s because of my sway back. Does anyone have any advice or similar experiences?
