Benefits of Hot Yoga
Those who are devoted to the practice will tell you that hot yoga has all kinds of benefits. The one that’s touted most often is detoxification: heavy sweating is said to help flush toxins from the skin. The heat also allows you to go a little more deeply and safely into the postures, so you know you’re really warming up the muscles and you can really approach the postures from a safe place.
Working in a heated room also elevates the heart rate, which makes the body work harder. It’s really for people who want a more intense workout and those who want to develop strength, flexibility, and tone along with a cardiovascular workout. Also working in heat helps the body relax, improves breathing (which helps conditions like asthma) and focuses the mind, which develops better mental concentration.
