Hot Yoga: The Perfect Blend of Mind, Body, and Breath
Hot Yoga is a popular form of yoga that offers a variety of classes for both beginners and advanced students. These classes range in duration from 45 to 60 minutes and are designed to build strength, balance, and increase flexibility and mobility. The classes are held in a heated room, typically around 90 degrees with 60 percent humidity, which accelerates oxygen flow and increases cardiovascular performance. This helps to ignite all systems in the body and begins to synchronize them, making you feel centered and harmonious after class.
The ALIVE signature hot yoga series, offered at our Plano Texas location, is intentionally sequenced to build strength, balance, and increase flexibility and mobility. The heat in the room accelerates oxygen flow and increases cardiovascular performance, which ignites all the systems in your body and begins to synchronize these systems. This is why it feels centered and harmonious after class. It's an amazing thing to experience - mind, body, breath, and perfect rhythm.
Hot Yoga is a full-body training and optimal range of motion with substantial hold times. The class is a great benchmark for understanding how far you have come. You come in, know exactly what to expect, and you will leave feeling better than when you walked in - that is 100% true every time.
Atom is the core variation of the signature hot yoga classes offered at ALIVE. The room is 90 degrees with 60 percent humidity. If you prefer a little less heat, try the Electron class. It's less heat (90 degrees), which lowers the intensity, and is a great place to start for beginners or to come back to basics when needed. If you want more intensity, try Photon. It is an advanced variation with higher heat and humidity. Just a few degrees increase the challenge by a lot. Aura is also in the hot yoga family.
If you are seeking a mental break, try Aura. In a gentler environment with less instruction, less heat, and dimmer lights, this class will slow your brain waves and calm your senses. By adding any of the hot yoga class variations offered at ALIVE, into your weekly routine, you will feel more grounded, confident, and connected, not just to yourself but to everything and everyone around you.
In conclusion, Hot Yoga is an excellent way to build strength, balance, and increase flexibility and mobility. It's a full-body workout that offers a variety of classes for both beginners and advanced students.
