If you love an all-over deep stretch and a great sweat, then you will love Hot Yoga. Classes are taught in a heated purpose built studio where overhead infrared heating panels are used to create intense sauna like conditions of 105 degrees. The heat should dramatically improve your flexibility allowing you to move deeper into the postures. It is also delivers a thorough cardiovascular workout and is great for detoxing. As your body fights to stay cool, your mental focus intensifies, your pulse rate rises and heavy sweating is induced. During a 60 minute class you can burn between 600-900 calories.
