WHY IS THE ROOM HEATED?
The recommended temperature is minimum 105ºF degrees and approximately 40% humidity. The room is kept at this temperature or higher for the following reasons:
  • Keeping the body from overheating (contrary to popular misconception)
  • Protecting the muscles to allow for deeper stretching
  • Detoxifing the body (open pores to let toxins out)
  • Thinning the blood to clear the circulatory system
  • Increasing heart rate for better cardiovascular workout
  • Improving strength by putting muscle tissue in optimal state for reorganization
  • Reorganize the lipids (fat) in the muscular structure

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HEATING THE ROOM?
  • The body burns fat more effectively.
  • Increases suppleness and elasticity of muscles, ligaments and other supporting structures of the body, allowing for greater flexibility with less chance of injury.
  • Dilates capillaries more effectively, oxygenating tissues, muscles, glands, organs and increasing the removal of waste products.
  • Increases metabolism, accelerating the breakdown of glucose and fatty acids.
  • increases cardiovascular workout.
  • Leads to sweating which promotes detoxification.
  • Just as when your body raises its temperature to fight infection, the elevated temperatures in the yoga room improve T-cell function and strengthen the immune system.
  • Improves the nervous system as messages are carried more efficiently to and from your brain.
  • Strengthens willpower, self control, concentration, and determination
