Welcome

Understanding Trinity Hot Yoga Classes:

• There are numerous benefits of practicing yoga, including greater strength, balance, and flexibility of both mind and body. 
• Infrared heaters are used in all classes. Infrared heat is considered the safest and most effective form of heating the body. Infrared heats objects, not the air, thus making it comfortable to practice yoga as well as increasing circulation and helping the body’s processes to eliminate waste.
• Humidity is also added with the intention of creating a pleasant environment for practice and maximizing the benefits of the session.  Dry air can deplete moisture from the body.  Therefore, added humidity may aid the body in staying hydrated and less fatigued. 

Body Strengthening, Cleansing and Removal of Toxins

Hot Yoga strengthens and deeply cleanses your body by adding intensity to the workout that you would normally get in a moderate temperature room.  This intensity will raise the level of purification exponentially.  Additionally, your body will work harder in a heated room, thus removing far more toxins from the system.

The Heart, Internal Organs, and improved performance in our Tri Cities hot weather

If you slowly adjust to practicing in a heated room, you will begin to find that your body responds well, and you will become quickly addicted.  On hot summer days, when your body normally wants to stay indoors, you will probably be able to maintain normal activity levels outside and may even become able to perform at peak activity levels. This is because your heart works harder. The work done in the heat causes the arteries to dilate and thins the blood so more blood flows as the heart is challenged to get nutrients and oxygen to every cell in the body. The internal organs are also challenged. As your body gets used to practicing in a heated environment, your system learns what to do to keep itself from overheating.

Increased Flexibility

The heat also softens up muscle tissue, so it is able to stretch and open. Those who are less flexible will find this to be a huge advantage to practicing in a heated environment. This aspect of the heat needs to be handled with caution. While muscles, which might be tight, are more able to open, so are ligaments and tendons, which you do not want to overstretch. The amount of opening and deep stretching that can naturally occur as a result of a well-balanced Hot Yoga practice should not be pushed too far. In the long run, proceeding thoughtfully and with care, while using the heat to help you open your tight spots and trouble areas, will get you much farther than trying to blast through your restrictions as quickly as possible.
