Chosen worldwide for heating hot yoga and pilates studios, spas and health clubs

Warm yoga uses a mild level of heat to create a comfortable environment where the body can ease naturally into movement. This gentle warmth can help encourage flexibility without placing the practitioner under heat stress. It is often chosen for slower flows, yin practices, and classes focused on relaxation or mindful mobility.

Heated vinyasa classes typically work with a moderate level of warmth to support circulation and enhance the fluid quality of movement. When infrared heating is used, the heat warms the body directly rather than heating the air first, which creates a steady, breathable environment. This temperature range can help muscles relax while maintaining a sense of energy and stability throughout practice.

Hot Pilates or heated core conditioning practices use higher temperatures to support deeper muscular activation. The warmth encourages greater engagement of stabilising muscles and may increase cardiovascular challenge. This environment is often dynamic and focused on strength-building alongside mobility.

Bikram yoga follows a set 26-posture sequence in a room heated to around 104°F with controlled humidity. The heat level in this style is intentionally higher, helping practitioners work through deeper levels of physical and mental discipline. The warm and humid environment encourages significant perspiration and requires careful pacing and hydration.
