Benefits of a Heated Yoga Practice
At Revive yoga co., we have invested in a revolutionary heating system to provide you with the safest way to attain all the benefits of hot yoga. Where most heated studios use forced air, our studio is equipped with radiant heating panels that provide a soothing feeling of sun like warmth. the heat is a product of a completely safe spectrum of light that is invisible to our eyes. Like the sun, the heaters produce heat waves that work to heat up water. because the human body is mostly made of water, the heat transfers to the body more effectively.
Radiant heat provides a therapeutic, deep penetrating form of heat which expels toxins, heavy metals and pollutants from the body, providing significant benefits.
Health
Radiant Heat Plays a positive role in healing. As we experience life, our body can struggle to keep up. WE store stress in our shoulders & hips, we get injured, & as we age we notice more aches & pains. heat makes it easier to relax the muscles, let go of tension & even find relief from joint pain & tightness. Radiant heat also promotes a stronger immune system which can speed up the healing process in soft tissue injuries such as tears, pulls & sprains.
Heart
Want to burn hundreds of calories in sixty minutes? Heat makes the heart pump harder which means you’re also receiving a good cardio workout, building endurance & strengthening your cardiovascular system. in addition, radiant heat improves circulation, reduces fluid around the heart, and helps improve overall heart function.
Flexibility
Heat increases your range of motion & can add more ease & accessibility to your yoga practice. The warmer you are, the easier it is for your muscles to stretch. this can allow you to reach further or go deeper in more CHALLENGING postures.
Breath
The heat & humidity forces you to focus on your breath. Even though it might seem harder to breathE, you are actually working on strengthening the lungs by taking deeper breaths. The lungs are forced to expand more than usual allowing more oxygen to enter the blood stream. more oxygen to the organs in the body may help improve their functions.
during class, the teacher may introduce nasal breathing. nasal breathing is effective & efficient during movement & exercise. It can allow for more oxygen to get to active tissues. During intense moments, such as under conditions of heat & humidity, nasal breathing can be the ideal way to oxygenate our bodies. Nasal breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system that supports rest, recovery & digestion. Even in intense exercise, nasal breathing can provide a sense of calmness & relief.
clean
Radiant heating helps to ensure a healthier indoor space to practice. Heating panels do not blow dust, allergens, emissions, chemicals or pollutants helping to keep the air clean & clear. They also require a lower use of energy, water, & other resources making them better for the environment.
