This week I did a couple of hot yoga classes at Moksha Yoga’s brand new studio on Bathurst Street and I have to say I’m already hooked. Unlike the high intensity cardio workouts i’m used to doing, this one was a real change of pace. The class was very relaxed but at the same time you’re engaging your muscles in various postures that help stretch, tone, and strengthen your muscles. All of which takes place in a heated studio – which has its benefits and is also my favourite part about it. It may still be summer but come winter, this workout will be a good escape from the bitter cold.
By working out in the heat, this helps detoxify the body, increase flexibility (muscles are looser when in the heat), and helps with weight loss.
For optimum results, this is a great workout to incorporate with any resistance training program.
