Introduction

Higher Ground Hot Yoga is a challenging and invigorating form of yoga practiced in a heated room, typically between 95-105 degrees Fahrenheit. This unique environment enhances flexibility, promotes detoxification, and provides a transformative workout experience.

Benefits of Higher Ground Hot Yoga

* Improved Flexibility: The heat helps to warm up muscles, making them more pliable and less prone to injury.

* Increased Detoxification: Sweating during class helps to release toxins from the body.

* Calorie Burning: The heat and physical exertion of hot yoga lead to significant calorie burn.

* Stress Relief: The combination of heat and movement helps to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

* Enhanced Cardiovascular Health: The increased heart rate during class strengthens the cardiovascular system.

* Improved Mood: Hot yoga releases endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects.

Class Structure

A typical Higher Ground Hot Yoga class lasts for 60-90 minutes and follows a set sequence of poses. The class begins with warm-up poses to prepare the body for the more challenging postures that follow. The main portion of the class consists of a series of standing, seated, and supine poses that target different muscle groups. The class concludes with a series of cooling-down poses to reduce heart rate and promote relaxation.

Tips for Beginners

* Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after class to prevent dehydration.

* Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose breathable, moisture-wicking clothing that will keep you comfortable during class.
