What is Wellness Forum Hot Yoga?

---

Hot yoga is a very specific type of yoga involving 26 poses, all of which are performed twice in a 90-minute class. The room is kept at 105 degrees, and a humidifier is used in order to keep the room hot, and promote sweating and detoxification.

The heat is a very important part of the therapeutic effect. This allows your muscles to experience a maximum stretch, detoxifies your body through sweating, increases your heart rate which provides an aerobic workout; and helps to burn body fat.

It does take some time to get used to the heat. Your first goal is to get to the place where you can stay in the classroom for the full 90 minutes. The number of classes required for becoming accustomed to the heat can range from one to several. Please do not get discouraged.
