Infrared Heating Systems: Why They’re Extremely Beneficial for your Health

Our Humble fam loves to dig deep into whatever ignites the fire within us.

We take pride in building spaces where sweat, strength and clarity come together. One of the key players? Infrared heating.

While we all love the feeling of a soulful sweat, there’s more benefits to infrared heating than an endorphin rush. Spending just 20 minutes in a sauna can lower risk of cardiac death by an impressive 52%. Not only that, but engaging in 2 to 3 sauna sessions per week can reduce overall mortality risk by 24%. 

These remarkable statistics demonstrate the profound benefits of infrared heat, which the Humble team has integrated into our hot yoga classes to further deepen your practice. 

The Science Behind Infrared Heat

Infrared heat is a type of radiant energy that penetrates deep into your muscles and tissues, promoting a range of health benefits. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas use a specific wavelength of light to create a warming effect that's both gentle and effective. This type of heat can improve circulation, boost cardiovascular health, and facilitate detoxification—all of which contribute to why we step on our mats each day. 

Infrared Heat and Hot Yoga: A Perfect Pairing

At Humble Warrior, we've harnessed the power of infrared heat to elevate the hot yoga experience. Here's how this combination can benefit your body and mind:

  • Enhanced Flexibility: The warmth from infrared heat allows your muscles to relax and stretch more easily, improving flexibility and reducing the risk of injury during practice. You’ll find yourself feeling a little bit “looser” in a heated space, allowing your practice to go deeper each session. 

  • Detoxification: Sweating is one of the body's natural ways to eliminate toxins. Infrared heat promotes a deeper sweat, helping to detoxify your body more effectively than non-heated yoga classes.

  • Improved Circulation: The heat encourages increased blood flow, which can boost your cardiovascular health and aid in muscle recovery.

  • Stress Reduction: The calming environment fostered by the gentle warmth of infrared heat can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, leaving you feeling rejuvenated after each session.

  • Mental Clarity: The unique combination of yoga and infrared heat encourages mindfulness and focus, enhancing your mental clarity and overall mood.
