Yoga Benefits

DETOX

Sweating is one of the natural ways of removing toxins from the body. Deep breathing also helps aerate the lungs, forcing stale air out and new air in. Hot Yoga further promotes more sweat through a heated room.

CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

Yoga poses and flows will raise your heart rate and increase the circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the joints, connective tissues, and internal organs. Yoga poses create spacious openings so blood can go to places that are usually closed and tight, bringing rich nutrients into those areas resulting in healthier joints, organs, and overall health & wellbeing.

WEIGHT LOSS

To everyones surprise, you can burn 350-550 calories in one yoga class. Yoga poses require physical strength, core muscles engagement, and concentration from the mind. All these activities require energy in our body. In addition for Hot yoga, exercising in the heat will increase your metabolism rate and sweat, resulting in faster weight loss.

DE-STRESS

By focusing on breathing, the mind develops focus, bringing strength and calmness. A full mind and body union is required for each yoga pose and naturally results in a higher state of mind. An opening of tightness from many areas also reduces tensions in our body leading to enhanced blood circulation.

ANTI-AGING

One of the most obvious signs of aging is the loss of flexibility. Yoga reduces joint degeneration and improves muscle coordination, helping to slow the aging process. Regular yoga practice increases mobility & movement of body especially in older age.

FLEXIBILITY

Yoga poses improve overall flexibility in the body which leads to an improvement of our daily life. Spinal movement, hips & shoulder mobility, and overall body flexibility through proper stretching are essential elements for longevity.

FAQS

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE HEAT?

Heat in the room helps by promoting more sweat and thus flushing toxins from your body. Heat also helps loose up tendons and ligaments in your body allowing you to get deeper into postures and prevent injuries. The heated environment also helps to raise your heart rate, which in turn means you burn more calories.

HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER MY FIRST COUPLE OF CLASSES?

The first class for most beginners is generally challenging. This is because you are not used to the temperature in the room. It usually takes 2-3 classes for you to adjust your body to the room temperature and enjoy the heat. It is also not unusual to feel nauseous or dizzy during your first class. Usually the problem is that you do not drink enough water.

Some might feel disoriented or like you need a good nap, this is likely because your body has begun to cleanse itself as a result of the yoga practice. This sensation will disappear after a few classes after your body becomes stronger. Try to rest more especially the night leading up to the practice, you 
will feel more energized throughout the class and the rest of your day. 

You might also feel sore or stiff the day after your first class. Don't worry about this too much or let it keep you from coming back. Even if you feel stiff and sore, you can practice Yoga. In fact, the feeling will generally go away once you warm up.
