  • The Heat

     

    Hot Box Yoga has integrated an ancient discipline with the use of modern technology, employing FIR radiant heating panels to enhance the wonderful benefits of yoga.

     

    Far Infrared Rays are part of the sun's invisible spectrum. FIR radiant heat is a form of thermal energy. This is the warmth you feel penetrate your skin when you are outside in the sun. FIR light should not be confused with ultraviolet light which causes sunburn and damage to your skin. Far infrared rays do not cause sunburn or skin damage.

     

    Far infrared rays are waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, capable of penetrating deep into the human body (approx 4cm), where they gently elevate the body's surface temperature and activate major bodily functions.

  • Far Infrared Heat is a healthy, natural and safe therapy for all living things.

     

    It does not dry out your lungs, throat, mouth or nose or make you feel uncomfortable as traditional warmed and blown air systems can do. Instead the feeling is one of nurturing and comfort.

     

    The penetrating effects of FIR radiant heat warms your muscles creating extra flexibility and deeper release in your body.

     

    Radiant heat is an excellent aid to the outer surface of the skin as well, by helping to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to helping heal cuts and scars, it smoothes the texture of the skin.

  • Benefits

     

    Far infrared rays expands capillaries which stimulates increased blood flow, regeneration, circulation and oxygenation.
    FIR heat is excellent for detox. Scientists report that in the FIR treatment of clogged capillary vessels, heat expands the capillaries and then initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins. Fir Infrared thereby promotes elimination of fats, chemicals and toxins from the blood.
    FIR relieves nervous tension and relax autoneuro muscles thereby helping the body make the most of its intended healing abilities. FIR reduces soreness on nerve endings and muscle spasms, as muscle fibers are heated.
  • FIR stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism by raising the metabolism and body temperature, FIR heat also breaks down cellulite - trapped water, fat and waste. FIR waves penetrate layers of tissue, triggering mobilisation of chemicals from fat stored under the skin, directly into the sweat. After about 20 minutes the body heat starts releasing stored fat.
    FIR promotes rebuilding of injured tissue by having a positive effect on the fibroblasts (connective tissue cells necessary for the repair of injury). Furthermore, it increases growth of cells and protein synthesis, all necessary during tissue repair and regeneration. Excellent for healing burns, scar tissue and skin problems.
