In today’s competitive fitness world, mental and physical recovery plus performance are no longer separate goals, they’re two sides of the same coin. That’s why more business professionals, athletes and fitness enthusiasts are turning to athletic-style hot yoga as a cornerstone of their training. And one of the most efficient and effective ways to tap into this growing trend is through HOTWORX, a unique infrared sauna-based workout that combines heat, athletic yoga, and other isometric exercise for accelerated results. Check out the excerpt below from my book HOT EXERCISE:

No offense, but the days of Richard Simmons–style workouts have long passed. In the modern world, customers want more than old-school aerobics. People want more out of the time they have for fitness. People want more, and fitness professionals have responded with new and better workouts! Companies like HOTWORX® have responded to this demand with more efficient workout tools and routines.

As a result of this new fitness reality, the discipline of yoga has made a tremendous leap forward into the mainstream of the industry through many expanded methods and styles. One such method is a more fitness-oriented, athletic style of yoga.

As stated by wanderlust.com, “Yoga has shifted from being a form of physical therapy to being straight-up exercise.” Modern yoga forms such as that of HOTWORX® deliver more of a “Namaslay it” approach to yoga, giving clients therapy and athletic-style exercise.

Why Athletic-Style Hot Yoga?
Athletic-style hot yoga isn’t about holding slow poses in a dim room. It’s an intense, sweat-inducing practice designed for those who want to improve:
-Strength & flexibility
-Mental focus
-Muscle recovery
-Joint mobility
-Core stability

When performed in a heated environment, especially one enhanced with infrared energy like HOTWORX, this type of yoga becomes a powerful tool for detoxification, fat oxidation, and injury prevention.

HOTWORX delivers the infrared advantage. What sets HOTWORX apart is its virtual instruction format within an infrared sauna, which allows members to experience more workout in less time. The heat penetrates the muscles, reduces inflammation, and increases circulation while you move through athletic postures designed to challenge and restore the body. This isn't your average, or traditional yoga class. It's a training session designed for high performers who want efficiency, results, and recovery in a single workout.
