Enjoy the incredible benefits of infrared light and heating in our Heated Vinyasa, Heated Power, and Hot 26 yoga classes.
Soul Space Studio is the first and only hot yoga studio in Kommetjie, Cape Town. Our studio uses infrared lamps to heat your body directly — not the air around it — to induce incredible health benefits.
(Not a fan of the heat? Our schedule includes a range of unheated and slightly-heated classes alongside our heated classes.)
BENEFITS OF HOT YOGA
Improved flexibility
Warm muscles and tissues are more relaxed and flexible, allowing you to move deeper into poses and find ease and relaxation in challenging asanas.
Work up a sweat
A heated yoga class can feel more challenging than a regular class, and yes, you’ll work up a sweat! Hot yoga offers all the meditative and grounding aspects of yoga, with the added satisfaction of a good ol’ sweaty workout.
Improved cardiovascular fitness
Because hot yoga requires your heart, lungs, and muscles to work that bit harder, it’s an excellent way to improve your overall cardiovascular fitness. You’ll be giving your metabolism a boost at the same time.
Improved circulation
Hot yoga improves blood circulation, making it easier for your brain and muscles to access oxygen. It also sends extra oxygen-rich blood to your skin cells, providing a boost of nourishment and that unmistakable post-yoga glow.
Lower blood glucose levels
Hot yoga classes have been shown to reduce blood glucose levels and improve glucose tolerance.
Boost your mood
There’s nothing like a sweaty, hot yoga class to clear your mind and lift your mood. But the positive mental effects of hot yoga extend way beyond the immediate: regular hot yoga classes can be a powerful tool for reducing stress and fighting depression long term.
Improved bone density
Studies show that practising yoga, and hot yoga in particular, is a great way to preserve bone mass and density. Supporting your own weight in a range of yoga poses promotes strong, healthy bones.
Burn calories
If you’re looking to burn through a few extra calories, a Hot Power Yoga or Hot 26 class could be just the ticket. These challenging, exhilarating classes are designed to build strength and stamina — and vaporise calories.
BENEFITS OF INFRARED HOT YOGA
At Soul Space Studio, we use infrared lamps to heat our classes. Infrared hot yoga offers additional benefits over and above those of conventional hot yoga:
Hypoallergenic
Instead of blowing hot air around the studio, our infrared heaters mimic the warmth of the sun by heating your body directly. This is great news for anyone sensitive to the dust and allergens typically blown around by HVAC systems, as the air in an infrared-heated yoga class is cleaner and easier to breathe.
Aids healing and promotes pain relief
Infrared light penetrates the skin, promoting cell regeneration and repair from within. This has been shown to reduce inflammation, aid healing, and ease chronic pain and stiffness.
