The Health Benefits of Hot Yoga

We have HOT YOGA!! Hot yoga has become a popular exercise in recent years. It offers many of the same benefits as traditional yoga, such as stress reduction, improved strength, and flexibility.

But, with the heat turned up, hot yoga has the ability to give your heart, lungs, and muscles an even greater, more intense workout.

At Rising Tide Wellness we use infrared heaters, so you will experience a different kind of heat. One that heats your body instead of the air around it. Make sure you register because our classes fill fast!!

Curious how you can benefit from hot yoga?

According to researchers at Colorado State University, the calorie burn can be as high as 460 for men and 330 for women during a 90-minute hot yoga session.

A 2014 study of women who participated in hot yoga over a 5-year period found that premenopausal women had increased bone density in their neck, hips, and lower back.

This lead the authors of the study to believe that hot yoga may be an effective option for reducing the risk of osteoporosis in women.

Striking different yoga poses in high heat can give your heart, lungs, and muscles a more challenging workout than doing the same poses in a lower temperature.

According to a 2014 study, just one session of hot yoga is enough to get your heart pumping at the same rate as a brisk walk (3.5 miles per hour). Hot yoga also revs up your respiration and metabolism.

While any type of exercise can help burn energy and reduce circulating levels of glucose (sugar) in your bloodstream, hot yoga may be an especially helpful tool for people at higher risk for type 2 diabetes.

A 2013 studyTrusted Source found that a short-term hot yoga program improved glucose tolerance in older adults with obesity, but it had less of an effect on young, lean adults.

Sweating, and a lot of if, is one of the main objectives of hot yoga.
