Hot Yoga in Edgartown
At Yoga on the Vine, we offer hot yoga powered by state-of-the-art infrared heat panels—a modern, therapeutic approach that transforms your practice from the inside out. Unlike traditional forced-air heating systems, infrared panels heat the body directly rather than just warming the air, creating a clean, comfortable environment with powerful benefits for both body and mind. We are the only Martha’s Vineyard studio to add humidity so you are not depleted by the heat, but nourished and recharged.
The Benefits of Infrared-Heated Hot Yoga
1. Release and Rejuvenation at a Cellular Level
Infrared heat penetrates deeply into muscles and tissues, stimulating sweat at a deeper level. This encourages your body to release more efficiently, leaving you feeling cleansed and revitalized.
2. Increased Flexibility and Joint Mobility
Infrared warmth allows muscles to soften and stretch more safely and effectively. This means deeper postures, greater range of motion, and reduced risk of injury—all while supporting healthy fascia and connective tissue.
3. Enhanced Circulation and Cardiovascular Health
As your body heats up, your heart rate rises—similar to light cardio exercise. This boosts circulation, improves oxygen flow, and can support heart health over time.
4. Pain Relief and Muscle Recovery
Infrared heat has been shown to reduce inflammation and alleviate chronic pain. It promotes muscle recovery by increasing blood flow and accelerating healing post-workout.
5. Immune Support
Raising the body’s core temperature mimics a mild fever, which stimulates immune function and may help strengthen the body’s natural defenses. Studies have been especially profound on infrared’s impact on Lyme disease and other tick-borne illness.
6. Mental Clarity and Stress Reduction
The warmth of the infrared panels creates a soothing atmosphere that calms the nervous system. Combined with breathwork and movement, it enhances mental clarity, reduces stress, and encourages a meditative focus.
A Clean, Green Heat Source
Infrared heat is not only gentler on your body—it’s better for the planet. These panels produce zero emissions, and keep the air feeling fresh, not stifling. No hot air blowers, no recycled sweat—just radiant warmth where you need it most.
