Hot Yoga Is Hot!

Yoga is hot.  Hot yoga is even hotter. 

As people look for ways to become healthier, happier, more relaxed, and fit, yoga studios are popping up and packing them in.

A regular yoga practice has been shown to have many physical benefits, including improved flexibility, strength, muscle tone, balance, joint health and pain prevention, in addition to mental advantages including increased clarity and reduced stress and anxiety.

Hot yoga is practiced in a heated room allowing for even greater flexibility, healing, and reduced risk of injury. Think of the analogy of a sword. Cold, it’s rigid and inflexible, but heated, it becomes pliable, something with which you can work.

While having all the benefits of regular yoga, hot yoga can be a calorie-burning, challenging workout which complements other forms of fitness.  For this reason, it has gained popularity with Olympic, professional, and college athletes and mere mortals (like me.)  But hot yoga can also be a relaxing hour of delicious stretching.  You determine the intensity.  A class can be whatever your body needs it to be that day.

At Revolution Hot Yoga, our studio, warmed for class, features cutting-edge radiant, infrared heaters which can be controlled independently allowing for heat zones.  Infrared doesn’t heat the air, but warms bodies allowing participants to choose their temperature comfort level depending on their distance from the heater.  Infrared also decreases the risk of mold and mildew, a persistent problem for hot yoga studios, and the facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art air filtration system.  So, no funky smell.

The studio offers 35 classes weekly; including lunch time hour and weekend morning Restorative classes.  All classes are open to everyone and can be customized to meet the level of the individual, whether beginner or advanced.  With over twenty years of combined teaching experience, our instructors have earned their sweat and know their stuff.

Revolution Hot Yoga is the joint effort of five individuals passionate about hot yoga whose lives have all been transformed individually in one way or the other by yoga.  Personally, a hot yoga practice helped me recover from a brain injury, pull out of depression, get in the best shape of my life, fortify my immune system, and become part of a supportive yoga family.  I haven’t even had a cold in the six years I’ve been practicing. 

We invite you to discover the healthy, invigorating, fun, and easy practice of hot yoga in a clean, safe, and encouraging environment.  All fitness levels welcome.  Be part of the revolution!
