WHAT IS INFRARED HOT YOGA?

The infrared hot yoga experience is very similar to performing yoga in the warmth of the summer sun. When you’re outdoors in the sunlight, you’re not warmed by the heat of the air around you, but rather the infrared rays of the sun. Infrared light will heat surfaces that are capable of absorbing infrared rays. This means you get to experience the benefits of sunlight without harmful UV exposure.

This is the biggest distinction between infrared and traditional hot yoga. Traditional hot yoga relies on heated air that is forced into the room. So objects are not warmed, only the air in the room. And the environment created for a traditional forced-air hot yoga session can often feel stuffy and leave you feeling parched and dehydrated. In contrast, hot yoga using infrared heat is often more comfortable because the infrared panels disburse heat evenly and silently. You, your mat, and other objectives in the room simply absorb the heat naturally. Just like standing outside in the sun.

In fact, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and the Mayo Clinic report that infrared therapy improves the functioning of blood vessels, reduces cholesterol, increases circulation, improves flexibility, supports weight loss, speeds recovery, and lowers blood sugar levels.
