Hot Yoga: Your path to more fitness, energy and inner peace

Discover how the combination of heat and movement enhances your fitness and relieves the stress of everyday life

Imagine entering a room filled with soothing warmth enveloping your body. You begin to move, feel your muscles become more supple, and delve deep into your yoga practice. This is the essence of hot yoga - a practice that combines traditional yoga poses with elevated room temperature to promote flexibility, strength, and mental well-being.

What is Hot Yoga?

Hot yoga is practiced in heated rooms with temperatures between 35 and 40 degrees Celsius. This heat allows for deeper stretches and promotes intense sweating, which helps the body detoxify. A well-known style is Bikram yoga, which includes a fixed sequence of 26 asanas in a 90-minute class.

Benefits of Hot Yoga

Increased flexibility: The heat makes muscles and tendons more supple, allowing deeper stretches and reducing the risk of injury.
Improved blood circulation: The increased temperature promotes blood circulation, which improves the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the organs and muscles.
Strengthening the cardiovascular system: Hot yoga can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Stress relief and mental clarity: The combination of physical exercise and mindfulness promotes relaxation and can relieve symptoms of anxiety.
Calorie burning: The intense practice allows more calories to be burned, which helps in weight control.

Risks and precautions

Despite the numerous benefits, hot yoga also carries risks. The intense heat can lead to dehydration, so it is essential to drink plenty of water before, during and after practice.

In addition, the increased flexibility can increase the risk of overstretching and injury if exercises are not performed correctly.
