Yoga, Heat & Body Changes

I am not completely sure that these “interesting facts” are irrefutable, but my personal testimony is that it sure feels good in the process.  The ‘after-effect’ of the Hot Yoga class is complete mental and physical release and relaxation.  I am close to the point of renewal for my 10-series sessions at Surya  Yoga Academy in Hoboken. Here are a few of the reasons I will continue to regularly participate.

 

Easily build muscle

  • For the same volume of tissue, muscle weighs more than fat, which means you can lose shape and gain mass
  • Therefore your actual weight in lbs or Kg will increase
  • These are considered GOOD lbs!

 

Helps break down stubborn or trapped fatty deposits

  • These may be in stiff joints (or even part of the cause of the stiffness)
  • Subcutaneous (under the skin) and lipid fats that get broken up with stretches and compression
  • Fat is easily “burned” from excess stored in tummies, hips, thighs and buttocks

 

Helps you BALANCE your metabolism and restore “natural” metabolic functioning

  • You might gain or lose weight depending on your body’s current needs.

 

Creates SHAPELINESS

  • Most people want to lose weight for one reason — to look good.  (I’d agree that there is a strong second reason — to be healthier. But nothing succeeds like a goal that looks you in the mirror every day!)
  • Yoga helps contour your body. The heat in the Hot Yoga series accelerates this massively.
  • Muscles become sleek and defined (but not bulky or wiry)
  • Fat re-distributes and burns up
  • Your skin glows and pores open up and are “flushed”

 

Improves circulation

  • Yoga trains you to breathe more effectively. In yoga, your breath is your “Life Force” = Prana. More efficient and effective breathing brings more oxygenated blood to all parts of your body (and in turn helps release trapped waste materials – “toxins” etc)
  • Your circulation improves — and the functioning of your extremities improves which again helps with the overall
    cleansing and “shaping up”.
  • Your lymph system is more effectively used — again helping to restore your body’s natural cleansing mechanisms and flushing unwanted buildups out of your system.
