5 reasons why everyone should perform hot yoga 

“Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they’re meant to be”.

Yoga is the change which you and your body needs. Yoga means discipline, discipline not just in your routine life but also in breath control, meditation and thoughts. Without discipline a person is like a cocoon, knows that it has the potential to unleash a beautiful butterfly but does not have the courage and discipline to work on it.
Hot yoga is a genre of yoga and it is performed under hot and humid temperature. There are many benefits of performing hot yoga. It not just helps to improve your appearance from outside but it also helps you to purify yourself from inside.

Here are top 5 reasons why everyone should do hot yoga

1.     Improved flexibility

“Your body can do it, it’s your mind you need to convince”. One of the biggest advantages of performing yoga is that it makes you more flexible. Flexibility helps a person to employ his/her body to his tunes. During hot yoga, the heat in the room will help in better blood circulation in the body. This, in turn will help oxygenated blood to flow more in the muscles which makes them more pliable. Hence you would be able to stretch your muscles even more in hot yoga than you can in normal yoga. Not only will your experience of holding and getting into poses become more effective but it will also reduce the risk of injury as your muscles are already warmed up and can handle more strain.

2.     Weight loss and muscle toning

Flexibility and weight loss are one the main reasons why we opt for yoga. There are many poses in which your body stretches from vital points and helps cut the carbs. In hot yoga, you would be performing yoga in a hot and humid temperature set by the gym. This will result in excessive sweat. The more you sweat, the more you lose weight. As stated earlier, because of the heat your muscles are already warmed up and hence can be stretched more. Holding the poses for sometimes results in the muscles getting used to the pose and hence tones your muscles in the right way.

3.     Metabolism and Immunity boost

“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self”. Yoga is known to connect your inner soul with your outer self. The effects of yoga are not just seen on the outer appearance but can also be felt from inside. Exercising in hot temperature improves your immune system and your metabolism and helps elevates your body’s regenerative capacity.

4.   Less diseases and injuries

A better immune system helps improve your body’s ability to fight against harmful virus. Doing hot yoga can lead you to live a healthy life. Also, because of the temperature you can stretch your muscles even more and reduce the chances of injury during performing asana.

5.     Improves lung capacity

Like any other types of yoga, hot yoga also helps to improve the lung capacity by performing breathing pranayama. The hot temperature elevates the benefits of hot yoga in breathing exercise. In hot temperatures a person is able to breathe easily and conveniently, hence the temperature helps a lot in improving lung capacity.

Although there are many other benefits of performing hot yoga, these were some of the key advantages of performing hot yoga.
