We are committed to creating a nurturing environment that supports your well-being. Most, but not all, of our heated classes utilize state-of-the-art infrared heating panels from Heating Green, offering a gentle and effective warmth that enhances your yoga practice. These infrared panels are mounted in the ceiling, allowing heat to be delivered evenly and comfortably. 
 
What is Infrared Heat? Infrared heat is a natural form of energy that warms objects and people directly, similar to the sun's rays, but without harmful ultraviolet radiation. Unlike traditional heating systems that warm the air, infrared panels emit a *safe spectrum of light that penetrates the body, promoting internal warmth and comfort. 
 

Benefits of Infrared Heat in Yoga Include:

• Deep Muscle Relaxation and Recovery: Infrared heat directly warms muscles, increasing circulation and flexibility, allowing for both a deeper and safer stretch, along with promoted healing.

• Enhanced Detoxification: The gentle heat promotes sweating at a cellular level, aiding in the elimination of toxins and improving skin clarity.

• Pain Relief: Infrared heat penetrates tissues and joints, providing relief from minor aches and chronic conditions by enhancing blood flow and oxygenation. 

• Improved Circulation: By directly heating the body, infrared panels stimulate blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to cells. 

• Eco-Friendly & Silent: Our infrared panels operate quietly and efficiently, without circulating dust or allergens, creating a clean and peaceful studio environment.
