Hot yoga: how to practice and what are the benefits


Hot yoga is a variant of yoga that is performed at high temperatures and which gives several benefits: this is how it works.
Hot yoga, as the name suggests, is a variant of yoga whose practice is carried out at extremely hot temperatures and with a very high rate of humidity. It is a discipline lasting about 90 minutes during which different positions supported by some breathing exercises are performed. A type of yoga that gives various benefits and which, among other things, helps to consume many calories.
How hot yoga works
Practicing hot yoga is not difficult as long as you are able to endure the heat. In fact, the practice involves performing 26 asana positions in a room with a temperature of 41 ° and a humidity rate of 40%. A choice that involves a greater expenditure of calories (from 400 to 600 per session) and a greater elasticity but which can cause problems in those who are not in harmony with the high temperatures.

If you can stand them, however, you will be able to enjoy the advantage of being able to assume even difficult positions with greater ease and all without weighing on the muscles.
To practice it, in addition to enjoying excellent health, it is necessary to hydrate well both before and after the yoga session. Obviously comfortable and not too heavy clothes should be worn. Classic yoga clothing will do just fine.

– Reduction of stress
