I didn’t understand all of this when I first started practicing…
I trusted my GP’s recommendation. I trusted the teacher who welcomed me onto the mat. And honestly? I just hoped, somehow, this might help.
Here’s some of what I’ve learned along the way 👇
We practice in a heated room (around 85–105°F / 29–40°C).
The heat can increase flexibility, support detoxification, and enhance cardiovascular performance.
Infrared heat may also help manage the body’s natural inflammatory response after intense exercise, reducing soreness and limiting excessive tissue stress.
Combined with mindful movement, this environment seems to amplify yoga’s stress-reducing benefits. Harvard Health (2017) reported that two studies on Bikram yoga found that after just eight weeks, symptoms of depression were reduced.
When you’re living with pain, it’s natural to feel low, lose hope, or feel frustrated. I certainly did.
Whatever brings you to yoga… recovering from injury, feeling a little low, working on fitness, or simply carving out time for yourself, you are welcome here 🤍
(If you have heart conditions, heat sensitivity, are pregnant, or have other medical concerns, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider before practicing in a heated room.)
