Yucky. I know the terminology may be little too technical, but that is how I feel after being in a studio with infrared. It feels un-natural to me. I feel like my skin is being burned. I know it isn’t, but it’s the closest to how I can say I’m experiencing. My first thought was what a cool concept, but after a year I found myself leaving practice and not feeling well and forcing myself to go back. The last time I went to a studio with this type of heat my scalp and skin were in so much pain I rolled up my mat and walked out. I’ve never walked out of a yoga class before. Ever.

Now that you say rubber flooring, that is what is being used a lot in my area. I find I shrink away from touching the floor. I don’t like my skin to touch it. Especially how it feels with the infrared heating it up. The hard floors helps me to feel more grounded, connected.

The rubber floor with what feels like fake heat has put me in a mode of feeling lost with no studio or place to call home. (so I’m opening my own:)
