We get asked all the time why we offer and teach hot yoga so I thought it would be a great topic for a series of blog posts! Here goes the first one......

Did you know that repeated exposures to exercise and heat produce acclimatization - changes in physiological function by which the tolerance to heat stress is improved resulting in increase in blood plasma volume, increase in sweating rate, and improved endocrine system response?  

Well it does - have an in depth peer reviewed read about it here  

Have you been to Kyle's Roots of Yoga class yet? It is really quite different than any other class on the schedule and is taught in the true Kyle style! 

In his own words, this is what you can expect from the class"
"This class begins with Meditation, Suria Kriya, the origins of Surya Namaskara,  to help break the "karmic cycle" followed by Angamardana, the diamond body or"limb mastery" practice for 15-20 min. Great for joints, strengthening, pumping blood flow and building Prana through rigorous breath.  Resting in between movements. This is followed by a gentle Hatha Flow where we hold postures for 2-3 minutes with relaxation after each posture. Followed by Aniloma Viloma (alternate nostril breathing ) meditation and finally savasana."
Check out a video of Angamardana as taught at the  Ishta School in South India where Kyle studied.
