How Can Hot Yoga Help You Lose Weight? The Top 10 Reasons
1. By warming the muscles, your body is more readily able to burn the fat. This is because muscles
that are warmed to a higher temperature are able to burn fat more easily than cold muscles and
speed up the breakdown of glucose and fatty acids, which can improve muscle tone and assist in
weight loss.
2. Since you are working in a hot environment, you sweat more and therefore burn more calories. This
fact makes your workout time more efficient and productive.
3. The more you sweat, the more you help your body to detoxify. This will help you to develop a
healthier and more efficient circulatory system which may bring about additional benefits such as
increased metabolism and stamina.
4. Hot yoga can help to break down stubborn fat deposits. The stretching and other various exercises in
the heating environment may help to push out subcutaneous fat deposits especially those on your
stomach, hips, buttocks and thighs
5. Hot yoga can improve your body's natural cleansing mechanisms. The exercise routines in a hot
yoga environment help to promote an overall cleansing in your body because your lymphatic system
is worked more aggressively and tends to become more efficient as a result.
6. Stretching in the hot yoga environment can lead to increased flexibility with your muscles and joints.
This helps to work your body from the inside out.
7. Hot yoga can aid in the reduction of stress, which can often lead to reduced levels of the hormone
cortisol, which plays a role in the conversion of calories into fat.
8. Hot yoga can help you lose weight by improving your concentration and mental focus. This may help
you better monitor and evaluate your eating habits, especially with regards to portion control.
9. Hot yoga also assists your body in building muscle, which can boost your metabolism since muscle
weighs more than fat and it takes more calories to maintain your body’s weight if you have a higher
percentage of lean muscle.
10. Because working in a heated environment is more difficult and requires greater mental discipline, it
can have a spillover effect by building your confidence and mental focus which can help you to have
more discipline with regards to your eating habits. It often can have positive benefits on many other
areas of your life as well.
