Hot Yoga is fantastic for improving your overall fitness and flexibility. It’s also brilliant for helping you to achieve balance and feelings of deep wellbeing.
We have used Infrared heat in our studio since 2015 as our heating system and for a very good reason….
Infrared is radiant heat, a form of energy that heats objects directly without having to heat the surrounding air.
Your body feels pleasantly warm without the feeling of exhaustion that is common in a hot yoga room using a forced air system.. The heat in infrared yoga studio is therapeutic, not oppressive.
The Science Behind Infrared Therapy:
Deep Penetration: Infrared heat is known for its ability to penetrate deep into the tissues, muscles, and joints, enhancing oxygen flow and circulation which aids in the repair of damaged tissues and promotes a faster recovery.
Detoxification and Enhanced Circulation: Infrared heat promotes sweating which helps in the elimination of toxins from the body. Additionally, it enhances blood circulation, promoting better oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells.
Muscle Relaxation and Pain Relief: The deep heat generated by infrared heaters aids in relaxing muscles and alleviating discomfort, making it particularly beneficial for those with muscle stiffness or joint pain.
Skin Purification: Sweating induced by infrared heat helps to expel impurities from the skin, promoting a clearer and healthier complexion.
Weight Loss: The metabolic rate increases in response to infrared heat, which can support weight loss goals when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Immunity Boost: Exposure to infrared heat can boost the immune system by elevating the body’s core temperature, which in turn induces an artificial fever state and activates immune responses.
