Why The Heat?
We intentionally heat the room because of the many benefits it offers your
body. Heat protects your muscles as they move through their full range of
motion. When practicing in the heat endorphins are released helping to
reverse the negative effects of stress. Heat increases the heart rate, which, in
turn, strengthens the heart. Additionally, higher temperatures soften collagen
around the joints for more freedom of movement, and improve the function of
the nervous system - meaning that messages are sent more rapidly to and
from the brain and spinal cord. The process of sweating releases toxins,
burns calories as well as exfoliates and rejuvenates the skin, the largest
organ of your body. Sweating is just as essential to your body as breathing
and eating.
