Fire Heated Yoga
Infrared Yoga Classes
"Spark your fire, illuminate the journey"🔥
Soul Fire Yoga is one of the ONLY studio in South Bend that uses Infrared Heaters for classes. Infrared heated yoga is simply a yoga session heated with an infrared radiant heating system reaching temperatures between 95- 105 degrees.
Anyone who has been outside on a sunny day has experienced the warmth of the sun directly on their skin because it is infrared radiant heat. While indoor infrared heaters DO NOT emit UV rays like the sun, they do provide the same sun-like warmth.
The advantage of Infrared radiant heat is that surface temperatures such as a floor temperature can feel 3-8 degrees warmer than the air temperature. This includes people; the direct warmth on people’s bodies can feel soothing and can help boost flexibility.
Because heat is distributed directly, infrared radiant heating panels do not blow air and heat silently, creating a superior hot yoga experience.
What makes infrared radiant heating feel so different than traditional forced air systems is the way the heat is distributed. Forced air can make your yoga session stuffy, blow around dust and allergens around the room, and leave you feeling dried out.
While a session with infrared heat feels clean and invigorating because it heats the people and objects in the room, not the air.
