Description

Heated Vinyasa Flow is a dynamic style of yoga practiced in a warm or hot room—typically between 85°F to 100°F (29°C to 38°C). It's a combination of Vinyasa yoga (which links breath with movement through a flowing sequence of poses) and the added intensity of heat, which increases the physical challenge and enhances detoxification through sweat.

🔥 Key Elements of Heated Vinyasa Flow:

Breath + Movement: You move through poses in a smooth, continuous flow coordinated with your breath.

Heat: The room is heated to encourage flexibility, circulation, and deeper detoxification.

Intensity: It’s physically demanding—expect to build strength, endurance, and break a sweat.

Mindfulness: Despite the pace, there’s a strong emphasis on body awareness and presence.

🧘‍♀️ What to Expect in a Class:

Warm-up: Often starts with grounding and breathwork.

Sun Salutations: To build heat internally and get into rhythm.

Standing Flow Sequences: Warrior poses, balances, and transitions.

Core Work + Backbends: To challenge strength and open the spine.

Cool Down + Savasana: Deep stretches and a final resting pose.

✅ Benefits:

Improves flexibility (especially with the warmth).

Boosts cardiovascular fitness.

Enhances detoxification through sweat.

Builds strength and endurance.

Calms the mind and relieves stress.

⚠️ Tips for Practicing:

Hydrate before and after—you’ll sweat a lot.

Bring a mat towel (or yoga towel) to prevent slipping.

Listen to your body—take breaks as needed.

Avoid heavy meals right before class.

Not recommended for pregnant individuals or those with certain medical conditions unless cleared by a doctor.
