HOT YOGA CALORIES

The combination of heat and physical activity makes hot yoga an effective workout for boosting calorie burn. Here are a few ways hot yoga increases your metabolism:

Increased Heart Rate: The heated atmosphere in a hot yoga studio challenges your body to cool itself down, which can elevate your heart rate and help burn more calories.
Improved Flexibility: Practicing in the heat enhances flexibility, allowing for deeper stretches and more intense movements that contribute to higher calorie burn.
Strength Training Elements: Many hot yoga styles include strength-based exercises such as planks, push-ups, and other poses that build muscle, helping increase your resting metabolism over time.
Sweating: The heat encourages heavy sweating, which may result in temporary water weight loss. Remember to rehydrate properly after class to maintain balance.

Hot yoga benefits go beyond calorie burning. It’s an effective way to strengthen and lengthen your body while also reducing stress. Whether you’re new to hot yoga or a regular practitioner, always listen to your body and stay hydrated during practice.

HOT YOGA FOR MEN

At Ohmyoga’s hot yoga studio in Copenhagen, we don’t separate classes by gender. Everyone is welcome. Hot yoga is just as beneficial for men as it is for women, offering strength, flexibility, and relaxation in one practice.

Many men find that hot yoga is the perfect complement to other sports such as running, football, weight training, or fitness workouts.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOGA AND HOT YOGA?

The main difference between traditional yoga and hot yoga is the environment. Hot yoga is practiced in a heated room, usually around 37–39°C, which increases flexibility, circulation, and calorie burn. While the poses in hot yoga are similar to those in Hatha, Vinyasa, or Yin yoga, the heat adds an extra physical challenge and enhances many of the hot yoga benefits.

At Ohmyoga’s hot yoga studio in Copenhagen, you can experience the same foundational yoga poses with the added advantages of heat, such as improved muscle elasticity, detoxification through sweat, and a heightened sense of focus and relaxation. Hot yoga is ideal for those seeking an intense workout combined with stress relief and overall well-being.
