What is Hot Yoga? Hot Yoga is a series of yoga poses done in a heated room. The room is usually maintained at a temperature of 95-100 degrees. As you can imagine, a vigorous yoga session at this temperature promotes profuse sweating and makes the body very warm, and therefore more flexible. This yoga consists of a sequence of postures scientifically designed to work into the next posture so by the end of the sequence the whole body is worked out— internal organs, systems of the body, muscles, joints, glands. Everything! The heat allows the body to detoxify and cleanse through sweating, in addition to making the body more pliable in the postures resulting in restructuring and properly aligning the body. The postures are basic and easily understood by a beginner but are always challenging—students can practice the sequence of postures for a lifetime and be continuously challenged by class. Sweat, laugh, and do more for your health, body, and general well-being than you ever imagined possible. Some of the benefits include weight loss, flexibility, balance, strength, muscle tone, improving concentration, breathing, increased circulation, and alleviating back pain. |
