In today's social life, yoga is a very common exercise in our lives. It has good flexibility and is very beneficial to our body. At the same time, it plays a vital role in the improvement and treatment of various diseases and complications. Therefore most people love this sport very much. Hot yoga is actually one of the sports that is very beneficial to people. So what exactly is hot yoga?

Hot yoga, also known as hot yoga or thermal yoga. It means doing yoga in a high temperature environment of 38℃-40℃. It consists of 26 stretching movements, which are flexibility exercises that can improve spinal flexibility and are suitable for office workers. At the same time, it can reduce weight by directly stimulating the nervous and muscle systems through some static movements of twisting, bending and stretching. This hot yoga originated from the United States and became popular in China around 2004.

Sweating can remove toxins from the body's surface and purify the nervous system. Traditional Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga use physical postures to make practitioners sweat profusely, thereby achieving the purpose of expelling waste from the body. The high temperature environment of hot yoga replaces a lot of hard practice. After ordinary people enter it, they will sweat even if they don’t do any exercise. Many celebrities have relied on hot yoga to lose weight, and more and more people in China are trying this yoga system.

Hot yoga is very effective for weight loss, detoxification and body sculpting, and is a popular innovative practice method. At normal temperature, muscles and tendons are relatively stiff, but in a high temperature environment, you will find that your body is surprisingly flexible, which will give you confidence in yourself. This is also a major feature of hot yoga.

In addition to losing weight, long-term practice of hot yoga can also relieve migraines, back pain, cervical pain and gastrointestinal diseases. Such words appear repeatedly in the introduction of hot yoga, and many people who come to practice hot yoga with great enthusiasm also have such a purpose. Hot yoga classes are held three times a week, each lasting about an hour. The hot yoga room is always the most popular, with yoga mats piled high on the floor. Students range from their early 20s to over 50 years old, mostly white-collar workers. Exercising the flexibility of the human body can improve the softness of the spine. Squeezing the cervical vertebra in the opposite direction can relax the meridians and promote blood circulation to treat migraines and cervical pain. It is especially suitable for people who often sit in the office. Lack of exercise, intense mental stress and excessive weight loss can all cause a cold constitution in the human body, and hot yoga combines warmth and exercise, allowing people to brave the cold to experience the fun of "misplaced" seasonal sports.

Hot yoga is especially suitable for people who are entering a yoga room for the first time. Because hot yoga is conducted in a closed room at 38℃ to 42℃, all functions of the human body are in an excited state, blood circulation is accelerated, and the secretion of lubricating fluid in the joints increases. The human body can quickly enter the training movement state with little warm-up. Performing yoga in this environment will reduce the chance of injury and eliminate tension in the body.

After reading the above introduction to what hot yoga is, I think everyone should have some understanding of it. Hot yoga is actually doing yoga in high temperature, also called thermal yoga. It has very magical effects on people's bodies and can effectively improve and treat the occurrence of various diseases. We must correctly understand and master the relevant knowledge in this area.
