The room is heated to warm muscles, which allows you to work deeper in a shorter time period, seeing results faster. Heat takes the trauma out of stretching and heals and helps prevent injuries. Yoga is not just about working muscles: you are massaging deep tissues, glands, and organs as well. As you work deep within your body, you may start to release “toxins” that have been stored there a long time. Your skin is the largest organ of elimination in your body. Sweating helps flush toxins from your body, giving you a wonderful glow from head to toe.
