Yoga has long been known for its amazing health benefits.
From improving flexibility and endurance to strengthening your core and increasing muscle tone, the physical perks are plentiful.
Hot yoga is a popular pick among yoga enthusiasts, and with very good reason.
According toYoga Jala, hot yoga improves your ability to stretch and move.
The combined stretching and warm temperatures thoroughly relaxes joints that may have otherwise been stiff or tight.
“You sweat away toxins and heavy metals while also getting all the benefits of a yoga class.”
“It’s part of what it does, it never stops doing that.”
However, you’ll have to be on a consistent calorie deficit to lose fat long-term (viaInsider).
You’ll breathe harder, which will give your lungs an added workout in the process.
Avoid hot yoga if you are pregnant or have a heart condition.
The heat may also prove too much for those sensitive to it.
Finally, since the heat allows for deeper stretching, it may lend itself to overstretching and injury.
Hot yoga may compel you to lean more into the poses and fully let go.
