  • Our studio is a blend of forced heat and infrared panels for maximum circulation, consistent temps through the space, and maximum health benefits.

  • Infrared heating utilizes invisible, low-frequency waves to gently heat the body from within. Here are the main benefits your body can receive during an infrared hot yoga session:

    1. Deep Tissue Penetration: 

    -Infrared heat penetrates deep into the body, reaching muscles, joints, and tissues. This deep penetration helps to enhance flexibility and mobility by loosening tight muscles and promoting greater range of motion during yoga poses. 

    1. Detoxification: 

    -Sweating is a natural process that helps to eliminate toxins from the body. FAR infrared heat prompts sweating from the inside out, allowing for a more thorough detoxification compared to traditional heating methods. 

    1. Improved Circulation: 

    -The heat generated by infrared panels increases blood flow and circulation throughout the body. This enhanced circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to muscles and tissues, promoting faster recovery and reducing the risk of injury. Increased blood circulation greatly enhances your practice, allowing your body to feel stronger and balanced during a Hot Yoga class. 

    1. Enhanced Relaxation: 

    -FAR infrared heating creates a gentle, soothing, uniform warmth that helps to relax both the body and mind. 

    1. Calorie Burning: 

    Infrared heating can further increase calorie expenditure compared to traditional heat. The body works harder to regulate its core temperature in response to the infrared heat, resulting in more calories burned during the yoga session.

    1. Pain Relief: 

    -Infrared heat has been shown to provide relief from chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and muscle soreness. By increasing circulation and reducing inflammation, it can alleviate discomfort and improve overall comfort levels during and after a yoga practice.
