FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OCONOMOWC YOGA

What is Hot Yoga?

Simply put, hot yoga is very similar to regular yoga, just in a warmer room. In yoga, we practice different breathing techniques and exercise through a series of poses and helps improve health and happiness. We offer a variety of classes including Basics, Classic, Flow and Power. Depending on the class, the room is heated anywhere between 85 to 105 degrees. The heat of the room helps prepare the body for movement and makes for a sweaty workout.

Although hot yoga offers many of the same benefits of traditional yoga such as stress reduction, improved strength and flexibility, it is more than just a few minutes of deep stretching. Not only does the heated room make the class more challenging, but hot yoga has been shown to help burn more calories, improve flexibility, build bone density, reduce stress, ease depression, provide a cardiovascular boost, reduce blood glucose levels and nourish the skin.

Need we say more??

Does the Heat Make the Class More Challenging?

Yes, the heat does make the class more challenging. The heat helps us get our cardiovascular system working to provide a more well-rounded workout for mind, body and soul. The heat also helps our muscles open up and stretch deeper. Hot yoga will help you build strength and flexibility, while sweating it out and burning extra calories!

What Are the Heat Levels Like?

We primarily use infrared heat which feels more like a warm, sunny day rather than a steaming hot sauna.

Is Yoga a Cardiovascular Workout?

Yes. The heat helps up the challenge of a yoga class and helps us concentrate on using our cardiovascular system and proper breathing. Our yoga classes help improve flexibility, strength and balance while working your cardiovascular system and entire body.
