What is Hot Yoga?

Hot yoga involves practicing yoga in a heated environment, and an outdoor sauna provides the perfect setting. Explore how the combination of heat, humidity, and yoga poses can enhance your practice and overall well-being.

Benefits of Hot Yoga in an Outdoor Sauna

Experience the following benefits by engaging in hot yoga within an outdoor sauna:
