BENEFITS
1
By breathing deeply and deliberately, stale air is removed from the lungs. Heat generated externally and internally helps to induce sweat, detoxify your skin, and increases circulation by raising your body temperature and your heart rate. This creates a detox for mind and body and helps you clearing all the toxins inside your body.

WEIGHT LOSS
With regular asana practice (postures), weak muscles are strengthened; tight muscles become more flexible bringing balance to the body. By learning how to breathe properly during Hot Yoga, the mind is able to better focus, bringing strength and flexibility to both body and mind.
STRENGHT & FLEXIBILITY
Practiced dynamically, (Hot) Yoga raises the heart rate and increases the circulation of oxygen-rich blood to every cell in the body. It increases blood circulation to the joints, connective tissues, and internal organs. Asanas (postures) create opening and spaciousness so blood can go to places that are generally closed and tight.

Practicing (Hot) Yoga postures brings a great sense of well being. Learning how to breathe through a stressful posture translates into dealing with stressful situations with calm and grace in your daily life. Little do we realize that peace can be found every day with yoga and meditation. Yoga is also one of the best ways to calm a disturbed mind.
CONFIDENCE & INNER PEACE
By practicing breath/movement coordination, we learn to focus the mind. Over time it becomes possible to maintain a deep, consistent breath throughout an asana practice, regardless of the level of difficulty or the discomfort. In this manner, (Hot) Yoga teaches us that breath is a tool to help control our state of mind, regardless of the daily stresses we encounter.

The systematic use of breath and internal heat increases metabolism, induces sweat, stimulates elimination, and reduces food cravings, resulting in weight loss. One hot yoga class can burn in between 300-700 kcal. In other words its about getting that heart rate up and working hard but never overdoing yourself!

The practice of asana (postures) is a rare physical activity that promotes wellness in body and mind. When practiced with mindfulness, (Hot) Yoga is an exercise system that will reduce the imbalances that lead to injuries and complications later on in life. Even if you want to perform in competitive sports you will be needing yoga to keep everything balanced.

The mind is constantly involved in activity. By simply being aware of this tendency of the mind, we can actually save ourselves from getting worked up and relax the mind. Yoga and pranayama help create that awareness and bring the mind back to the present moment, where it can stay happy and focused.
