Question Hi,
Whenever I raise my arms above my head and then lower them, as in the salute to the sun, I get a tingling feeling like pins and needles in my left hand,fingers and lower left arm which lasts for a few seconds. Is this normal or could it be a sign of a physical/medical problem?
Regardsd, Colleen
Answer Hello Collen
Tingling sensation during yoga practice is not common in yoga. Consult your yoga instructor. If tingling sensation is a one time event, you may ignore it. However, if it is occurring daily, consult your doctor and if required an endocrinologist or a neurologist.
Tingling sensation during yoga practice can be due to multiple reasons, weakness, poor blood circulation, nutritional deficiency etc. It is better to consult a doctor to rule out any medical problem. Maybe you are going too fast in your yoga practice and needs to slow down.
