We present the results of a study of the sodium ionization and excitation in the winds of low-luminosity, pre-main-sequence stars. Line profiles for the Nal doublet at 5990,5986 Åare discussed and compared with the observations for those T Tauri stars with P-Cygni profiles. We find that the observed shape of the lines put significative constraints on the rate of mass-loss (M ≥ 3 x 10-8M⊙/yr).
