Benefits of HOT Yoga 
  • Your body burns fat more effectively, fat may be redistributed and burns as energy during the class. It's common to lose inches.
  • The heat produces a fluid-like stretch allowing for greater range of movement in joints, muscles, ligaments and other supporting structures of the body.
  • Capillaries dilate in the heat more effectively, oxygenating the tissues, muscles, glands and organs and helping in the removal of waste products.
  • Your peripheral circulation improves due to enhanced perfusion of your extremities.
  • Your cardiovascular system gets a good work out.
  • Your muscles and connective tissues become more elastic and allow for greater flexibility with less chance of injury.
  • Sweating promotes detoxification and elimination through the skin-which is the body's largest eliminating organ.
  • Just as when your body raises its temperature to fight an infection, the raised temperature in the room will assist in improving T-cell function and the proper functioning of our immune system.
  • Metabolism improves in our digestive system.
  • In one HOT yoga class (75 minutes) one can expect to burn between 700-1000 calories. This will vary depending on body weight and level of exertion.
