WHY INFRARED HEATED YOGA?

Each style of yoga contributes to your overall health and well-being by calming your mind and strengthening your body. Here’s some surprising health and wellness benefits of infrared hot yoga.

Unlike a traditional hot yoga room, infrared heaters don’t heat the air around you, instead they use infrared lamps (that use electromagnetic radiation) to warm your body directly - just like radiant sunlight! Benefits include:

  • IMPROVED IMMUNE SYSTEM FUNCTION

  • REDUCES PAIN AND INFLAMMATION

  • DECREASED ALLERGENS FROM HVAC AIR BLOWING AIR SYSTEMS

  • DETOXIFICATION

  • INCREASED MUSCULAR FLEXIBILITY & ACCELERATED STRENGTH BUILDING

“It’s “California” Hot, Not “Florida” Hot! The environment is tolerable and breathable which allows you to get the benefits without feeling like you are in a swamp.”
— Leslie - Yoga & Cross Fit Enthusiast

GETTING STARTED WITH INFRARED HOT YOGA

It is important to remind yourself that yoga is not a competitive sport, rather a personal experience. While yoga poses can be adapted for anyone who is limited by illness or injury, hot yoga may not be ideal for everyone. If you have a medical condition, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider before engaging in any new fitness program. If you choose to experience the benefits of infrared hot yoga, here are a few suggestions to help you ease into the experience:

  • Allow for enough time to let your body to adapt to the heat. Arriving to class 10 minutes early will give you an opportunity to adjust to the temperature. This may be particularly important for your first few classes.

  • Dress lightly and consider a headband to keep your hair off of your face. Ladies may want to consider a sports bra and shorts; men may want to plan to wear a t-shirt and shorts, or possibly just shorts. Dress for comfort and to minimize the heat heavy clothing will trap to your body.

  • We strongly encourage enhancing your water with an electrolyte solution or a pinch of salt to keep your fluids balanced.

  • Avoid an overly full or empty belly. Eat two to four hours before class. Try not to eat in the hour before class unless you keep it light. Exercise in the heat may cause you to feel nauseated.

  • Pace Yourself. Rest if you need to.

Yoga will calm your overloaded mind and strengthen your body. The benefits of yoga can be enhanced with the benefits of infrared energy. Infrared hot yoga is therapeutic, safe and comfortable. Discover how yoga can have a positive impact on your health and wellbeing.
