Infrared Heat Yoga vs. Traditional Hot Yoga

There is an important difference between infrared and traditional hot yoga. When practicing hot yoga in a centrally heated environment, an environment that relies on heated air, objects are not heated, only the air in the room. The environment created for a traditional forced-air hot yoga session can feel stuffy, make breathing difficult, and leave you feeling drained and dehydrated. But doing yoga with infrared heat feels more comfortable and invigorating. Infrared panels distribute heat evenly and silently.

Infrared heat yoga, on the other hand, uses safe and healthy infrared heat that is aimed directly at the practitioner’s body, not at the environment around him or her.

This means the heat lands directly on the body while the room remains cool.

Infrared heat is safe and is actually used in medical applications, such as warming painful joints or frozen shoulders in adults.

Infrared heat yoga also uses humidifiers to keep cool air circulating in the room, preventing practitioners from experiencing exhaustion, nausea, shortness of breath and heat stroke.

Why is Infrared Hot Yoga so different?

Infrared Hot Yoga uses far infrared lamps or panels that can be mounted on the wall or ceiling of the studio.

Infrared heat is clean and silent. The direct warmth on your skin feels deeply therapeutic and can even help lift your mood. These warming light waves are absorbed into the tissues and assist in the release of muscle tension, which improves elasticity, reduces muscle soreness and relieves pain. Heat exposure increases blood flow, which can help reduce inflammation while encouraging the body to detoxify. In addition, FIR enhances mood, mental health and cognitive function while promoting calm.

There’re many yoga studios included infrared sauna therapy into their hot yoga classes. They heated their studio by energy-friendly far infrared light (FIR) lamps, or infrared heat panels mounted on wall or ceiling. Those energy-friendly infrared heater generate long wave far infrared light, which deeply penetrates your body, providing relief from aches while enhancing circulation, ultimately offering an extensive range of incredible health benefits.

Top 5 Health Benefits of Infrared Yoga

When you walk into an infrared heated yoga studio, you will immediately notice that the heaters emit a therapeutic heat. It penetrates directly into the body, relieving pain, increasing circulation and providing a host of health benefits. Infrared is also one of the most environmentally friendly and economical heating systems available.

1. Increased Flexibility

Far Infrared heat directly warms your muscles, allowing for greater range of motion and flexibility. Studies have shown that with FIR heaters you increase your ability to stretch 3 times further. This will allow you to go deeper in your poses and experience more relief in your body.

Because Infrared heat is directly warming the muscles, it opens them up allowing for a greater range of motion. A study at Auburn University compared athletes stretching in a training room to how far they were able to stretch in an infrared sauna. Researchers concluded participants were able to stretch as much as three times their normal amount in the infrared environment. This will allow yoga students to open up, melt deep into the poses and gain confidence in their practice.

2. Increased Circulation

Infrared heat has been shown to have a stimulating effect on blood flow through the opening of the body’s capillaries. This has an incredible effect on the body, providing multiple benefits. It can help lower blood pressure, provide oxygen to the organs and rid the body of toxins (read more below).

3. Detoxification

In simple terms, infrared heat will make you sweat, which is a good thing because sweating is your body’s natural way of flushing out toxins. As your body absorbs infrared heat, water molecules begin to vibrate, causing them to squeeze impurities out of cells and expel them into the blood. The impurities are then released from your body through sweating, creating a deep, detoxifying cleanse at the cellular level.

4. Weight Loss

The human body has an amazing system for regulating temperature. It wants to stay at a constant temperature and is willing to work very hard to make sure that happens. When the body heats up, its natural cooling systems kick in, consuming energy and burning calories. Infrared heat also increases metabolism between the blood and tissues, which also burns calories.

5. Pain Relief

Infrared heat penetrates directly into tissues, muscles and joints for healing and regeneration. This is due to a combination of the aforementioned increase in blood flow, oxygenation and detoxification. Infrared radiation is incredibly useful for pain relief in both minor injuries as well as chronic ailments. Not surprisingly, it’s often the preferred method of many physiotherapists, saunas and yoga studios around the world.

All in all, infrared heating provides numerous benefits which make it an efficient and practical choice for heating spaces while enhancing indoor comfort and wellness.
