THE PHILOSPOPHY OF HOT AND SEXY SWEATING!
WHY HEAT?
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
- Detoxifying 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
