About Hot Fitness Yoga
What is Hot Yoga?
Hot Yoga is a dynamic and energetic form of exercise practiced in a large heated room. It consists of a series of postures and two breathing exercises. These postures are designed to help align your body, strengthen your spine, and increase core strength. The sequences of the postures are important. Each new pose prepares you for the next. Students learn to place new demands upon themselves, working harder and gaining determination with each succeeding class.
Why "Hot" Yoga?
The room is heated by design to properly warm up muscles, which allows you to build and maintain a proper flow to your movements and help protect your body from injury. In addition, the healing effect of Hot Yoga happens when movement and heat come together. Heat helps you sweat, and sweat is an important part of the natural healing since in enables the body to release toxins and excess fluids. Your skin is the largest elimination organ in the body. So the more you sweat, the more toxins you release, the better you feel. Plus it will help you lose weight!
Who is it for?
Hot Yoga is not just for the very flexible. In fact if you are not flexible, if you cannot touch your toes or perhaps even see your toes, you are a great candidate! There are benefits for everyone. No matter what physical shape you are in or what limitations you believe that you have, this form of exercise will help. Hot Yoga is purposely challenging so that you can move from where you are now to the place you want to be. Our focus is on "real life" flexibility, strength, endurance, and overall physical health.
