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, and exfoliates and
rejuvenates the skin, the largest organ of your
body. Sweating is just as essential to your body
as breathing and eating.
"There is a force within you that gives you life - seek that. In your body there lies a priceless jewel - seek that..." -Rumi
