Benefits of Hot Yoga
Yoga is a great form of exercise because the postures help you target multiple areas all at once, but the heat makes it even better. The heat helps you be more flexible, especially when you’re a beginner. Your breathing technique gets better, since it’s so hot, you are forced to breathe in a full and controlled manner. With yoga you kill two birds with one stone because you get toned, building on your strength, but you also get your heart pumping, so you’re getting your cardio in (90 minute class can burn up to 1,000 calories). In addition your body is releasing toxins, by sweating and sweating hard. It helps detox your muscles, organs and glands, which is an added bonus.
“When you start to sweat, you start to mentally detox and purify the body. The heat also enhances the practice, to help you get deeper into postures, it helps you warm up the muscles more, which is important, especially with sculpt,” explains Jones.
Plus it’s a great way to socialize, so grab a buddy and take a hot yoga class!
