Heated Yoga but not as you know it …..
Many of you may already have experience of Heated Yoga classes and the chances are they were heated by conventional combustion or convection methods.
Basically this means that forced air is used to heat the room and raise the temperature. This of course works, but for many it leads to an uncomfortable workout and the heat can be oppressive taking away from the quality of your practice. Some also feel nauseous and light headed and it can also lead to that feeling which is not dissimilar to being stuck in the car on a hot day with no air con – never pleasant, a bit aggravating and it might even smell a bit.
We have a solution – at Ember we will be using FAR Infrared technology to heat the studio to the required temperature between 35 -42 degrees c.
FAR Infrared is an invisible energy wave which directly heats the objects in the room not the air between and it will penetrate right through into the body so you feel the heat radiate throughout your entire being. It is very much like training directly in the heat of the sun but don't worry there's no harmful UVA or UVB rays to damage your skin.
We are confident that once you try it, you will love it, fill in the form on post below to receive more details but for now here's a few additional benefits of practicing yoga with FAR Infrared heating..
1) Its better for the environment – it requires far less energy to heat the studio to the desired temperature saving valuable resources and money.
2) Its good for improving circulation which in turn increases the bodies ability to eliminate lactic / metabolites and other toxin waste products.
5) FAR Infrared can help speed up recovery time from muscle tears pulls and sprains.
6) It can burn up to 35% more calories than traditional heated yogas which in turn can aid weight loss . This is due in part to the effect FAR Infrared has on increasing enzyme activity in the digestive tract and how it boosts metabolism.
7) It is scientifically proven to improve circulation in cardiac tissue leading to a healthier heart.
8) It has been proven to have positive effects on people suffering from chronic pain conditions such as Fibromyalgia.
9) It can reduce cellulite by aiding the breakdown at a cellular level and then speeding the removal of the waste products.
10) Stretch your muscles safely to improve flexibility by working in tandem with your yoga practice.
