    The fan heater will circulate air which is good, but look again at infrared heating, in the UK we have infrared heating panels that do not glow orange, they use far infrared technology, and are not fierce heat as the previous writer talks about! They have a low wattage so are cheap to run, and provide gentle warmth to relax muscles and aide stretching. Panels can be left on for long periods to maintain warmth in the room, similar to central heating, but will not be costing huge amounts to run as the fan heater will. You would then just need the fan heater to boost the temperature at the time of exercise.

    Hello, I work for a company in the UK that sells infrared heating panels for homes and businesses, we have supplied these heaters to hot yoga studios, but to be fair I dont really understand about the requirements for hot yoga, which is why I am here reading up!
    I do know that you need 2 or 3 times more heat than normal to warm the room, here in the UK we have advised having an alternative hot air heater as well as the infrared panels. But I can see they would work well in a home yoga environment. They screw fit onto the ceiling and simply plug in, so do not take up any space or require any maintenance. The one thing that I do not fully understand is how you create the humidity, infrared is a very clean warmth to the skin and keeps the air conditions stable. Perhaps someone could explain how you achieve high humidity, and also how you get rid of it once you have finished doing excercise!Surely humidity in the home would lead to mould growth?
