hot yoga

Join us Friday mornings 8-9am to try out hot yoga.

Hot yoga has been getting a wringing wet endorsement from enthusiasts who say that it relieves stress, drops pounds and increases flexibility, balance and strength. BlissBlissBliss is proud to be the only studio that offers hot yoga in Morgantown.

The room is intentionally heated because of the many benefits it offers to your body. Heat protects your muscles as they move through their full range of motion. When practicing in the heat, endorphins are released helping to reverse the negative effects of stress. Heat increases the heart rate, which in turn, strengthens the heart. Heat causes the collagen around the joints to soften for more freedom of movement and improves the nervous system.

Be prepared to sweat. The process of sweating releases toxins, and exfoliates and rejuvenates the skin, which is the largest organ of your body. You will leave glowing. Hydration is extremely important so drink plenty of water before coming to hot yoga. Some yoga postures squeeze and flush your kidneys which release toxins in your body. Water is essential to help flush those toxins out. It is also important to drink water after class. You will be sweating and drinking water will help replenish the fluid that was lost during class. Yoga is best done on an empty stomach, so try not to eat at least two hours before your class. If you must eat, fruit is the best option since it is easily digested.

Hot yoga participants are required to bring a towel to put over your yoga mat. This helps to prevent slippage. Wear light, breathable clothing that you will be comfortable sweating in and that will not restrict your movement. Also, be sure to bring some water to have with you in class.
