It's been a while since I posted on my blog (gotta get more consistent!) but I wanted to let you know that I have been AND LOVING hot yoga. I don't know why I had such an aversion to it before, but I am officially in love with it. I feel like I'm working harder than I ever have before, and its great. I'm still having back issues (bulging disc) so I wanted to try this out to see how I felt and it was amazing. I am listing some of the benefits so that you will see how it may apply to your routine if you so choose. Also, the rates are fantastic! I found a Groupon for the studio I go to in Schererville, IN at $39.00 for unlimited classes for the entire month. If you would like to sign up for a regular membership I believe it works out to about $8 a class for about 15 classes a month. Priceless for what it does for your mind body and soul. I went in Vegas (found a Groupon there to for $22) and it was just as good..ALTHOUGH the men in the speedos and no shirts were a bit much!!!!...so needless to say, I was already sold on Yoga because of course I teach it, but the benefits of Hot Yoga, go far beyond anything I was looking for.
1. Flexibility: No, you won’t
be forced into contortionist positions. The heat will allow you to safely reach
new levels of personal flexibility in beginner’s postures, which is therapeutic
for your body (see number seven). Plus, let’s be honest, being flexible is
cool. You’ll be busting out Standing Bow Pose at your next party.
2. Strength: Your own body is
your gym. This yoga is low impact and uses muscles you didn’t know you had—trying standing in a wide lunge for Triangle pose
on carpet and not sliding! Also, a prime focus is on spine strength,
which is key to a long healthy life!
3. Breath: The definition of Hatha Yoga asana is: stillness in a
posture while breathing normally. With the added element of the
heat, you won’t make it far if you don’t breathe deeply! If there is no
breathing, there is no yoga. It won’t take long before you learn to breathe in
a full and controlled manner.
4. Cardio: Your heart can
work the same way doing yoga postures in a heated room as it does when running
a mile, and you never even leave your mat. Particularly in postures when you
are balancing and contracting your muscles at the same time. A 90-minute class
can burn up to 1,000 calories. The way you stretch and compress your internal
organs and glands also stimulates metabolism so you are burning calories
quicker outside the room as well.
5. Detox: The heated room
helps you to stretch more and get your cardio, but it also helps you sweat. The
postures themselves are detoxifying for your muscles, organs, and glands and
sweating furthers that.
6. Focus: Most Hot Yoga
classes consist of the same 26 postures and two breathing exercises—and if not,
there is almost always a dialed routine. The routine helps you to advance your
practice through repetition. As you advance, you gain tremendous focus and
determination. The ability to focus carries over to your daily life. When you
can focus on the task at hand, you’ll excel and you can enjoy it more.
7. Healing: The primary
purpose of this yoga is therapy. With a regular practice, these postures can
help to heal old injuries and also prevent them in the future. This is
especially true for, but not limited to, back pain. Don’t skip the postures
that are slightly uncomfortable. Hot Yoga is also known to reduce symptoms of
conditions and illnesses including diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure,
depression, arthritis and obesity.

as your spine is flexible.” ~Joseph Pilates
