Infrared Heat

Infrared Heat

Our heated classes are taught under high quality state of the art Infrared Radiant Heating panels. This heating system allows for our sudio to heat quickly and evenly, and to a set temperature. Our classes range from non-heated; ambient to Kauai’s natural temperature, to heated; 88-92 degrees, and hot; 100-105 degrees. Unlike forced air heating systems, Infrared heat is a “clean heat” in that it does not blow dust or allergens or release any emissions, chemicals or pollutants. We’ve found the addition of infrared heat to be an incredibly supportive, comfortable, and therapeutic tool for any yoga practice and are excited to share the benefits with you at Black Coral.

Health Benefits of Infrared Heat  

Upon entering the studio for a heated class you’ll notice that our infrared ceiling panels emit a gentle yet potent therapeutic heat. Infrared produces radiant heat waves like the sun, which directly permeates the body, alleviating aches, increasing circulation, enhancing detoxification and providing pain relief. Infrared is also one of the most eco-friendly and economical heating systems available. 

Increased Mobility - Rather than just heating the room, Infrared heat transfers warmth to the body which in turn warms the the muscles, ligaments and fascia allowing for a greater range of motion. This will aid in opening and stretching, melting deeper into poses and gaining confidence in your practice.  

Increased Circulation - Infrared heat has been shown to stimulate blood flow by opening up the body’s capillaries. This has an incredible effect on the body and offers a variety of benefits. It can help lower blood pressure, oxygenate the organs and rid the body of toxins 

Detoxification - Infrared heat will make you sweat, which is a great thing because it is your body’s natural way of flushing toxins. As your body absorbs infrared heat, water molecules begin to vibrate, which causes them to wring out impurities from the cells and expel them into the blood. These impurities will then be released from your body as you sweat, creating a deep, detoxifying cleanse on the cellular level. 

Pain Relief- Infrared heat directly penetrates tissue, muscles and joints, allowing them to heal and regenerate. This is accomplished through a combination of  increased circulation, oxygenation and detoxification. Infrared heat is incredibly useful for pain relief for both minor injuries and chronic ailments.
