If you go into a yoga studio and its air-conditioned, leave immediately.Conversely, if its heated up to 100 degrees with a humidifyer running,unless you really enjoy sliding around in your own sweat and tripping in the puddles when you're trying to balance, don't go there.
I train at three dojos (same sensei, different nights) in Yokosuka, Kurihama, and Ootsu, all of which are roughly 60 km south of Tokyo. Last night in the dojo, with the windows open, it was almost 90 degrees with 100% humidity (it was raining, after all).

That being said, I can understand why it's important to have a moderate environment in which to train. It's just that some of us don't have that luxury. I usually lose 3-4 pounds of water volume in a good training session, but I don't mind. I'll take being able to train in Japan if it means losing a little weight every so often.
