HOT YOGA
1. All the above guidelines apply however if you have any health concerns please check with your GP before taking a hot yoga class.
​
2. The room is heated with infrared ceiling panels.
There are many health benefits associated with infrared heating. Some examples include:
​
INCREASED BLOOD CIRCULATION
As the deep heat of infrared penetrates your body it allows greater blood flow throughout the body.
​
REDUCED MUSCLE AND JOINT PAIN
Greater blood circulation allows greater oxygenated and rich blood to be delivered to oxygenated-deprived muscles, allowing them to recover quicker and reduce the build up of waste products in these areas.
​
INCREASED FLEXIBILITY
Infrared allows tissue in our muscles to warm, causing them to relax and increase range of motion.
​
BOOSTS OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Infrared heat is anti-bacterial. If used at a high enough temperature, it increases white blood cell count as the immune system fights an increased body temperature.
