Physiological Benefits of Heat Exposure

🏃‍♀️ Enhanced Muscle Performance

Training in heat can boost your aerobic fitness and stamina. Athletes who underwent heat acclimation improved their maximal aerobic capacity by 5-8% and increased their time-trial endurance performance by a similar margin (1).

5-8% VO₂max increase

❤️ Improved Cardiovascular Output

Heat puts your heart to work in the best way. Research shows that after heat training, athletes had ~6% more plasma volume and up to 9% higher maximal cardiac output, making your heart more efficient at delivering oxygen (2,3).

9% higher cardiac output

🔥 Increased Metabolic Rate

Performing exercise in heat may increase total metabolic rate and energy expenditure by approximately 10-30% compared to similar movements in room temperature, as your body works harder to maintain optimal core temperature (3,12).

10-30% higher energy burn

🧠 Cellular Adaptation & Recovery

Heat exposure activates heat shock proteins and cellular defenses, building your cells' tolerance to stress. These changes enhance muscle endurance and recovery by improving cellular ability to handle heat and metabolic demand (4,5).

Enhanced cellular protection

I love the high energy, fun atmosphere of this class. It's amazing helping people build strength and push their limits. I've gotten so much stronger myself, and I love watching the other students get stronger too.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories does Hot Blast burn?

Hot Blast provides an intense 30-minute workout that combines yoga flows, strength training, and cardio in a heated environment. Research suggests heated exercise may increase energy expenditure by 10-30% compared to room temperature exercise, though individual responses vary based on body weight, fitness level, and intensity (3,12).

Is Hot Blast good for weight management?

Yes. Research shows heated exercise can contribute to weight management through multiple mechanisms: increased caloric expenditure during practice, enhanced metabolic rate, improved stress management, and the development of sustainable fitness habits (10,11,15).

How often should I practice hot yoga for results?

For optimal benefits from hot yoga and heat training, practice 2-3 times per week, allowing recovery days between sessions. Consistency and proper progression are more important than frequency. Research shows that heat adaptation occurs within 8-14 sessions when practiced regularly (1,5). You can combine Hot Blast with our other heated classes like Hot Yoga Fit, Hot Yoga Inferno, or Hot Fundamentals for variety.

What should I bring to Hot Blast class?

Bring a yoga mat, water bottle, and towel. Wear lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing. Arrive 10 minutes early to acclimate to the heat. Both our East and West Wichita locations offer mat and towel rentals if needed.

Is hot yoga safe for beginners?

Yes! Research shows that when properly introduced, hot yoga is safe and highly beneficial for beginners. Studies demonstrate significant improvements in cardiovascular health, flexibility, and stress reduction even in sedentary adults starting hot yoga programs (7,10). Our Hot Fundamentals class is specifically designed for new practitioners, with expert guidance and appropriate modifications. We recommend starting with 1-2 classes per week and building gradually.
