Isnt the purpose of “Hot” Yoga to help loosen you muscles, therefore increase flexibility? As compared to starting “cold” or at room temp? As well as releasing toxins through your pores (and lungs), and to some extent, challenge yourself mentally? That is my understanding as a year old Hot Yoga addict! I fell in love with it because the heat of warm classes made me so much more flexible (to my delight), and my progress obvious in a much shorter time than without the heat! Who isnt excited to see their stiff body open up! Blissful! Sooo, Please someone tell me why some people feel the need to go past the point of therapeutic!!! I have left class to cool off to keep from vomiting after being well acclimated to the heat. I dont understand why greater than 100 degrees is ever necessary! Can somebody please tell me the physiological advantage of heating the room further ?
