Training in warmth: A Natural Boost

Training in warmth offers a wide range of benefits — physically, mentally, and hormonally. Our hot cabins are designed with both comfort and safety in mind. The temperature stays below 40°C and your head remains outside the cabin. This way, you enjoy all the benefits of heat without overheating or feeling short of breath. With proper hydration, heat training is safe and suitable for everyone — even if you’re recovering, have recently become a mother, or are going through menopause.

Physical: Recovery, Fat Burn & Cellular Health

Muscle recovery and improved circulation
Heat dilates your blood vessels, helping your muscles recover faster and move more smoothly. Connective tissue also benefits from this improved circulation, allowing you to go deeper into stretches and feel less stiffness. This is especially helpful for early-stage discomfort or general tightness.

Cellular health and Heat Shock Proteins
Training in heat activates Heat Shock Proteins — protective molecules that help repair damaged cells, slow aging, and support your metabolism. For women, whose bodies often fluctuate due to cycles, pregnancy, or menopause, this offers a natural internal boost.

Cardiovascular effect at low intensity
Even though our workouts are gentle by design, the warmth naturally raises your heart rate. This creates a mild but effective training effect on your heart and circulatory system, without putting strain on your body.

Increased calorie burn and metabolism
Your body burns more energy as it works to cool down. Even calm movement in a warm environment leads to a faster metabolism and more efficient fat burning.
Science-backed: Studies on hot yoga, Pilates, and heat acclimation show improved flexibility, heart rate, and fat metabolism during moderate activity in heat (Prevention, Nike, CSU, Springer, 2020–2024).

Mental: Calm, Focus & Emotional Release

Deep relaxation and stress relief
Heat activates the parasympathetic nervous system – your body’s natural “rest mode.” And because your head stays outside the cabin, you remain cool and focused. Many women report deep mental relaxation after a hot session.

Heightened body awareness
Heat naturally slows you down, helping you move more mindfully and feel what your body truly needs. This sense of presence on the mat allows physical and emotional tension to melt away.
Research shows that gentle movement in a warm environment — especially in calming practices like yoga — significantly reduces stress and tension (Prevention, 2023).

Hormonal Balance and Training in warmth

Menstrual discomfort and menopause symptoms
Heat relaxes muscles, reduces abdominal cramps, and supports joint flexibility. It can also ease menopause-related symptoms like stiffness, restlessness, or sleep issues, helping the body find balance again.

Metabolism and energy levels
Regular exposure to warmth improves your body’s temperature regulation, supporting a more stable metabolism and increased energy — especially valuable during hormonal transitions.
