Record Breaking Heat? Bring It On!

It's early July and all over the Northeast, temperatures outside are 106-degrees, including right here at home in Bucks County.

Funny thing is, here at Riverflow Yoga, our students look forward to this climate everyday, all year round, a climate we create in the studio in order to get down to the business of practicing hot yoga.

Hot weather is perfect for hot yoga.  Hot yoga practioners are glowing in this heat wave, while everyone else is baking...and complaining.

We know a hot secret we'd like to share with you: hot yoga trains not just the body but also the mind, to withstand anything including extreme heat, by applying a healthy dose of focus and humility.  After hot yoga practice comes the realization that you can transcend anything.

Inside Riverflow Yoga, a dozen or more women and men stretch and strain, sweat and smile, 5 days a week (soon 7 days a week, twice daily and more, come September when our schedule expands), and emerge feeling cool as cucumbers, inside and out. Forget about air conditioning; your body has learned to create its own cooling system.

Doctors agree that everyone from athletes to couch potatoes can improve their ability to function in with extreme heat by exercising in extreme heat. Exposure to heat trains the body to develop better and larger sweat glands, to reduce body fat content which also helps dissipation of heat, and improve aerobic capacity.

So come on in and turn up the heat...there's always a warm spot for beginners here at Riverflow, and of course, the heat is always on.
