What is Infrared Heating?
Infrared (Far Infrared Radiant) is also called "invisible sunlight".
It is a form of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible sunlight, thus invisible to the human eye. Far infrared radiant heat provides all the healthy benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation. It is totally safe, and in fact, even you give off infrared heat!

Expect to Sweat!
"Infrared is a powerful means of cellular cleansing as it increases metabolism and blood circulation. In addition to its use for detoxification it also relaxes muscles, soothes the spirit and rejuvenates the body."
"Exercise increases oxygenation of cells and raises body temperature. Some individuals may find it difficult to sweat, which may be attributed to a heavy metal and toxic chemical burden. Exercise and skin brushing before a sauna session will jump-start the detoxification process and help produce sweat. Regular sauna use enhances internal cleansing and facilitates sufficient perspiration. Here we have taken the IR sauna and brought it into the workout so they are done together.
It's best to wait at least an hour after eating before entering class. Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after your yoga practice to replenish lost fluids and minerals."
