About Hot Yoga

At first it seems the only difference between Hatha Yoga and Hot Yoga is one detail - the temperature., As the name suggest, it’s practiced in the room heated up to 38-41 °C and higher humidity. If you are and athlete who likes some challenge and you find the “normal” yoga too static and ease you will soon find out how important this detail is. It doesn’t mean you should hit the bottom of your abilities. Increased temperature intensifies the practice and deepens it’s effects. Veins widen, muscles relax and let the body to be stretched to it’s maximum without muscle injury or spasm. Intense sweating helps with internal organs detox. Flexibility endurance and resistance develop quickly with the practice.
