What is Hot Yoga?

Hot yoga consists of performing various yoga poses in a room with a temperature between 80 and 105°F with 40-60% humidity. Hot yoga has multiple physical and mental health benefits. The combination of heat and yoga poses help soften tense muscles, leading to increased flexibility and relief from chronic physical discomfort. Practicing yoga in a hot room improves vascular performance, balance, and posture, builds muscle, assists detoxification, promotes weight loss and deepens sleep. With continuous practice, hot yoga reduces reactivity to stressful situations, decreases stress and anxiety, improves mood, focus, and concentration.
