When you step into an infrared-heated hot yoga studio, you will immediately notice that the heaters emit therapeutic heat. It directly permeates the body, alleviates aches, increases circulation, and offers many health benefits. Infrared is also one of the most eco-friendly and economical heating systems available.
Top 5 Health Benefits of Infrared Heat for Yoga
Increase Flexibility
Infrared heat directly warms muscles, allowing for a greater range of motion. It helps yoga students open up, melt deep into poses, and gain confidence in their practice.
Pain Relief
Infrared heat directly penetrates tissues, muscles, and joints, allowing them to heal and regenerate through increased circulation, oxygenation, and detoxification. Infrared radiation is beneficial for pain relief for minor injuries and chronic ailments. Physical therapists, saunas, and yoga studios around the world use infrared.
Detoxifying Sweat
Infrared heat will make you sweat, which is good because it is your body’s natural way of flushing toxins. As your body absorbs infrared heat, water molecules begin to vibrate, which causes them to wring out impurities from the cells.These impurities will then be released from your body as you sweat, creating a deep, detoxifying cleanse on the cellular level.
Weight Loss
The human body has an impressive temperature regulation system that takes energy (calories) to maintain a consistent temperature. Infrared heat also increases metabolism between the blood and tissue, which burns calories.
Increase Circulation
Infrared heat has been shown to stimulate blood flow. It can help lower blood pressure, help oxygenate organs, and rid the body of toxins.
