Hot Yoga Durban is a safely heated studio, with secure parking. They have options to practice a variety of styles of yoga with certified yoga instructors.
The Absolute Hot Yoga sequence is a combination of Hatha yoga and Bikram yoga, with 50 poses to benefit the entire body, internally and externally.
Why the heat? When the body is cold your muscles contract and this increases the risk of injury. As your muscles and joints warm up, they loosen – decreasing resistance to movement. In a hot yoga class the room is safely heated, thereby creating internal and external heat. Body in motion creates internal heat, allowing you to move deeper into poses, challenging your mind and building your strength. This process allows you to sweat and detoxify the body, thereby increasing the heart rate and allowing blood vessels to dilate, which strengthens the cardio system.
Heat stimulates fat receptors and facilitates fat loss, hence the weight loss effects of Hot Yoga. The yoga poses help develop, balance and improve overall flexibility – leaving you feeling invigorated, with improved posture and great vitality.
Hot Yoga is the perfect practice for everyone, regardless of fitness levels or ability. It’s fun, challenging and leaves you feeling fantastic!
After spending time abroad, owner Prathiksha Naidu opened the first hot yoga studio in Durban 6 years ago. She has two internationally certified courses in yoga and has been practising yoga for 25 years. Her positive outlook on life and passion for yoga has inspired and changed many lives.
Reviews from happy clients:
“Today, I had my first hot yoga class and wow… it was absolutely amazing! Clean environment, friendly and welcoming yoga teacher, Prathiksha. She encouraged each pupil to do the exercises to their own personal capability, at the same time explaining the health benefit. And once the heat was up, the sweat started dripping and that in itself was SO fulfilling because I knew my body was being toned at a level I was comfortable with. My 14-year-old daughter joined me at the class as well, at first reluctant because she felt she was unfit, but for us, this was not what yoga was about, it’s not cardio, feeling breathless but quite the opposite – the stretching and toning and feeling each muscle being worked. She absolutely loved it. Thank you once again Prathiksha for introducing me to your amazing hot yoga class, we will be back for more!” – Vanessa Bonhomme.
