HOT YOGA&DETOXIFICATION
I love sweating, and yoga both, therefore combining the two is a wonderful workout for me. By this practice we normally get to cleanse our body inside and out. We sweat away toxins and heavy metals while also getting all the benefits of a yoga class. It also can help us to focus more on the asana forms instead of speeding through the poses, because we may feel so hot therefore have to concentrate on what we are doing.
Next to hot yoga and sweating, receiving plenty of natural cold press juice of fresh fruits and vegetables while eliminating not-so-healthy foods from our diet for a few days elevate our health increasingly, in a way we will feel it in our body and mind. Our sleep gets deeper and more balanced, our moods and attitudes get more positive and uplifting. Overally we get happier and more tolerant during the day. Our mind gets sharper and we are more focused.
Hot yoga offers the same benefits as traditional yoga, such as stress reduction, improved strength, and flexibility.
But, hot yoga has the ability to give our heart, lungs, and muscles even more intense workout.
What is hot yoga?

infrared heaters are the best and cleanest way to heat the studio.
Hot yoga sessions can be different but generally we can expect to have, Bikram, Hot Vinyasa, Hot Yin, Restorative, Hot Pilates and Meditation as well.
The main goal behind these sessions is to provide relaxation of the mind and improve physical fitness.
So let have a look at the benefits of practicing hot yoga.

Sweating, is one of the main objectives of hot yoga, especially if you live in a cold environment.
