A Home Practice Plan for Unreliable Electricity and No Fan

If a power cut leaves your room too hot, postpone exercise and focus on keeping cool. A slower workout, a standing sequence or a ten-minute limit does not guarantee protection from overheating.
Keeping a routine is less important than responding to the conditions. You do not need to make up the session later.
Decide whether to practise at all
Check current local heat advice and whether you have access to a suitably cool place. Consider your health needs and any individual heat plan from a healthcare professional.
If the room is uncomfortably hot or you cannot manage the conditions, do not start a movement sequence there. Look for a cooler place or a different time if available. Being indoors does not by itself make heat exposure safe.
Keep cooling separate from exercise
Follow local heat guidance. Opening a window is not always helpful when the outdoor air is hotter or polluted, and a glass of water does not make an overheated room suitable for exercise.
WHO's heat guidance covers staying out of excessive heat, keeping the home cool and using light clothing. CDC also recommends planning for medicines and medical devices that can be affected by heat or power outages. Do not change medicines without professional advice.
If the setting is suitable later
When conditions are manageable and you feel well, choose a familiar activity that fits your abilities. Keep the space clear and allow yourself to stop. There is no special no-fan routine that every reader should follow.
If you are joining an online class, tell the teacher about the conditions and ask to postpone or skip the session when needed. A teacher's encouragement cannot remove the environmental risk.
Recognise signs that need help
Stop activity and move to a cooler place if you develop dizziness, headache, nausea, unusual weakness or other signs of overheating. Seek medical advice rather than trying to finish a gentler version.
Confusion, loss of consciousness or seizures in the heat can signal a medical emergency. Call your local emergency service, stay with the person and help cool them while following emergency instructions. The CDC heat-illness guide (opens in a new tab) explains the warning signs and first aid.
