Over the past few years, a ton of research and interest has been made into the practice of hot yoga. The term hot yoga now encompasses a number of styles of practice including slower paced Hatha classes to more flowing, vinyasa based classes. At Urban OM, we use state-of-the-art-heating and humidifying systems to create a warmer environment, facilitating a deeper experience of the postures and safer space to release tight muscles and detox the body.

“Practicing yoga in a heated room increases your pulse rate and metabolism, allowing your blood vessels to become more flexible and making your bod burn some major calories! This in turn makes circulation easier and increases blood flow to the limbs. Hot yoga is amazing for weight loss, as you sweat like a fiend. Like other yogas, it will build muscle tone [but will also] improve the lymphatic system and flush out toxins. It’s amazing for developing equanimity in the face of adversity and obstacles Hot yoga goes above and beyond when it comes to relieving stress and building inner confidence. This practice is the true definition of “mind over matter.” The endorphin ...
... rush you receive after completing 60- to 75- minute sweat session will leave you feeling like there’s nothing you can’t accomplish.”

Hot Yoga Tips:

1. Stay Hydrated:-
Ingber recommends drinking 2 to 3 liters throughout the day. You will undoubtedly sweat more during these types of classes than in most other forms of exercise, so it’s very easy to become dehydrated. It is extremely important that you drink plenty of water before, during and after your practice.

“Everyone is encouraged to drink at least eight glasses of fluids per day in general,” says yoga expert and director of SpaHalekulani, Kamala Nayeli. “When you exercise, this amount should increase by two to three cups. If you raise your core temperature or partake in a hot yoga class, I would [also] recommend including a small dose of salt prior to the class. Or have a natural ‘sports drink’ that will replenish the sodium you lose when sweating.”

2. The Rules For Eating Before Hot Yoga:-
It is important to avoid eating too much or too little before participating in a hot yoga class, which can be a tricky task to master. Nayeli suggests avoiding heavy foods, but encourages light snacks before yoga classes to properly fuel your body.

“Fruit, particularly those that have a high water content such as watermelon, or sodium content like bananas [are great to eat before class],” she says. “Dried fruit is good, too (figs, raisins, apricots, etc.). Seeds and nuts are also great. However, I would limit the dairy intake before class.” Ingber agrees and recommends snacks like half a banana, melon or almonds.

3. Listen To Your Body:-
It is important not to overexert during hot yoga classes. The warm temperatures and practice of poses can make your body feel looser and more flexible than normal, which can make it easier to pull a muscle. Be mindful of your body and try not to overstretch or push yourself too far when first starting out.

Gradually let yourself experiment with poses as your body adjusts and becomes more accustomed to the atmosphere and workout. If you feel any symptoms of heat exhaustion, such as dizziness, nausea, headache, confusion, poor vision or weakness, stop your practice and immediately leave the room.

“Personally, I do not recommend hot yoga for beginners,” says Nayeli. “Rather, it’s something to build yourself up to. Every body is different and not always suitable for such an intense workout in such intense heat. I have seen some harsh and concerning reactions in class with people not realizing what to expect, and then they feel they need to ‘keep up’ with the rest of the class even though their body is saying ‘take a break.'”

Ingber says one of her main concerns for hot yogis is the strict guidelines a studio may have about staying in the room. “It’s really important to listen to your body more than the teacher.”

4. Check With Your Doctor:-
If you have any injuries or health concerns, such as diabetes, cardiovascular or respiratory disease, or a history of heat-related illness, make sure to get your doctor’s OK before practicing hot yoga.
