HOT YOGA GUIDE

POE Yoga has installed a Radiant Heat system that works with the laws of physics- not against them. The POE Yoga Radiant Heat system heats objects in its path which reradiate the heat to other objects, which then reradiate heat to the air. This is how the sun heats the earth. This is different from a convective system, which heats air. Since radiant heat heats objects, there is no air to blow and no stratification of hot or cold air pockets. POE Yoga's studio is a silent, tranquil, healthful environment. No noisy blowers to distract from your yoga experience.The system maintains a dry, mold free environment with no drafts, no distribution of bacteria, allergens, or other contaminants, or distracting air temperature stratification.

WHAT IS FAR INFRARED HEAT?

Infrared light is part of the Sun's invisible spectrum. One of Far Infrared light's characteristics is the ability to easily penetrate human tissue. When this happens, it creates a natural resonance, which has many beneficial properties. Remember the last time you were sunbathing with sunscreen? Were you still hot? Of course you were, because the sunscreen only stops the UV (Ultraviolet) light from hitting your skin. The Far Infrared heat (Far Infrared light waves) penetrates your skin, giving you that wonderful natural warmth.

You can be exposed to Far Infrared heat for hours and it will never cause your skin to burn. Far Infrared heat is completely healthy and safe for all living things. In fact, it is so safe, it is used in hospitals to warm newborn infants.

FAR INFRARED technology EMITS THE "VITAL RAYS"

All humans send and receive Far Infrared waves. The range of waves generated by the human body is 6 to 20 microns. The optimal micron output range is between 7 and 14 microns which is very close to the resonant frequency of a water molecule. This similarity makes sense since our bodies are almost 70% water. This range, sometimes called "Vital Rays" appears to have special regenerative effects on the body.

The result of our Far Infrared heating system allows for better performance well within this vital wave range of 7 to 14 microns with a good portion of wavelengths at 9.4--which is the frequency at which a water molecule resonates or vibrates. This vibration causes a release of cellular toxins such as mercury, aluminum, cholesterol and other toxic gases such as sulfur and formaldehyde. This optimal micron output also allows for deeper penetration of Far infrared heat, which improves pain relief, detoxification, circulation, and increased peripheral blood flow.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS TO FAR INFRARED HEAT?

Far Infrared heat has shown to assist in weight loss, pain management, skin purification, detoxification and stress reduction . Far infrared saunas can also provide relief to patients suffering from arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and certain skin conditions. Far Infrared heat surrounds the body and penetrates deeply into joints, muscles and tissues, speeding oxygen flow and increasing circulation.

FAR INFRARED HEAT AND DETOX

 Detox at a cellular level. Detoxify the body from heavy metals including mercury, lead, cadmium, and aluminum. Detox arsenic, formaldehyde, and industrial chemicals. Far Infrared heat helps to purify cells, where our body stores waste and harmful toxins, such as cholesterol and heavy metals.

FAR INFRARED HEAT AND RELAXATION

POE Yoga been designed for greater relaxation and stress-reduction.

Relaxation is more important to health than most people realize. The American Institute of Stress estimates that 75 to 90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related problems. Long-term stress is the cause of countless physiological effects on the body, including increased blood pressure, weight gain and weakening of the immune system.

According to New York Times best-selling author and fitness expert Jorge Cruise – as well as many other health professionals – the more stressed you are, the more cortisol your body produces. Cortisol is a “fight or flight” hormone made in the adrenal glands that raises heart rate and blood pressure and leads to the deposit of excess calories in the midsection.

Scientific evidence also shows that infrared therapy helps the body maintain healthy levels of cortisol. While cortisol levels stay the same or rise slightly during exposure to traditional heating. In fact far infrared radiant heat have been clinically shown to reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure with regular use.

Through the use of cutting-edge heating technology, POE Yoga delivers the most therapeutic infrared yoga experience so that you can be enveloped in soothing warmth to help you relieve stress, ease your muscles and fully relax.

Improved Circulation

FAR INFRARED HEAT AND YOGA IS THE ULTIMATE COMBINATION

Our heating system heats your muscles with infrared rays and produces an increase in blood flow similar to regular exercise. In fact, blood flow during exposure to far infrared has been reported to rise from a normal rate of 5-7 quarts per minute to as much as 13 quarts per minute. (1)

The elevation in body temperature from our far infrared heating system combined with the the cardiovascular work out from yoga produces an increase in blood flow that is second to none. The increased peripheral circulation from our infrared heat reduces inflammation, decreases pain and speeds healing, all important steps in helping the body recover from strenuous activity.

Skin and Cell Rejuvenation 

A combination of Yoga and Far Infrared Heat can help restore skin to a youthful appearance.

Forego expensive cosmetic treatments that may have limited effects or questionable long-term safety. Instead, rejuvenate your skin while also receiving all of the other health benefits associated with a power yoga practice!

Many studies have shown significant improvements in skin appearance. Far Infrared has been shown to aid in reduction in wrinkles and crow’s feet, as well as improved overall skin tone, including softness, smoothness, elasticity, clarity and firmness. Far Infrared heat is able to penetrate deeper than conventional heating getting to levels where cellulite and acne form and aid in eliminating them. This technology combined with a yoga practice which wakes up dormant parts of your body and nerve endings revitalizes and keeps your body young and pure!
