Hello xehsufrutu Thank you for your questions (everywhere!)! Do remember that your perception of the heat along with the humidity are going to be playing a big part in this equation. Get yourself a good humidifier and don’t worry about that 105F false goal. It’s a myth and doesn’t take into account the humidity conditions. For example, I currently go to a public studio where the temperatures never reach 105F. Everyone sweats. Everyone has a great challenge with the yoga. Everyone is able to participate to their fullest ability without any risk of endangerment. What are moisture levels like where you live? Even an internet search will help you there for the range throughout the year. The practical heating considerations will change depending on whether you live in a rainforest or a desert. That ought to help. As you will have read the heaters that I have used and have always been happy with are British and Australian brands. But that British brand is available in the US and are also manufactured there. Xpelair. Maybe you have looked into those. Keep me posted. Namaste Gabrielle 🙂

Namaste!
Sorry for reviving this thread.
Currently I’m working on my personal training room, and I have several questions.
Since I’m worried about potential fire hazard, I’d like to know – is there any difference between heater types (as you can see, there are dozens of them) when it comes to heating my yoga room? For instance, could I reach the same effect if I’m going to use the infrared one or a ceramic? I’ve never tried exercising at home before and I’m trying to create a good setup, so if that’s an odd question, I’m really sorry, Gabrielle.
