BENEFITS OF INFRARED HOT YOGA
Increase flexibility
Infrared heat directly warms muscles, allowing for a greater range of motion.
Increase circulation
Infrared heat has shown to stimulate blood flow. It can help lower blood pressure, help oxygenate organs and rid the body of toxins.
Detoxifying sweat
Infrared heat will make you sweat, which is a good thing because it's your natural way of flushing toxins, creating a deep, detoxifying cleanse on the cellular level.
Weight loss
Infrared heat also increases metabolism between the blood and tissue, which also burns calories.
Pain relief
Infrared heat directly penetrates tissues, muscles and joints, allowing them to heal and regenerate thanks to the increased circulation, oxygenation and detoxification.
PILATES METHOD
Pilates is designed to give you suppleness, natural grace, muscular power and control.
Regardless of age, gender or physical limitations, pilates practitioners feel the difference in how they walk, play, work and most importantly how they live.
Pilates originally called "contrology" is a unique system of stretching and strength hening exercises designed to coordinate the body, mind and spirit. This proven method "develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind and elevates the spirit".
