Why 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!
