If you actively participate in our Long Island yoga classes, you won't want to miss this. It's Long Island hot yoga, and it is an intense new class offered at Sole Pilates and Yoga.

Also known as Bikram yoga (Named after its creator, Bikram Choudhury), hot yoga is an intense 90 minute workout routine involving 26 yoga positions repeated twice each. This is done in a studio room where the temperature is put up very high to encourage natural sweating of the body. This helps the body to burn more calories as the act of sweating uses up energy stored in the body. After just a few short weeks this intense workout will see the extra pounds melting off your body, leaving only lean muscle underneath.

The added benefit of heating up the body in a 100-degree room is that it also increases the body's flexibility, allowing for a more fulfilling yoga workout routine to be accomplished. This increase in flexibility allows you to have more control over the Yoga positions you perform, which helps prevent injury from occurring. If you want to see how you can benefit from a hot yoga class, simply give it a try! Seeing is believing, after all, so why not see for yourself?

Students are advised to drink a lot of water before and after the hot yoga class. Classes should be attended at least two hours after eating, if not longer. You should bring your own towel and yoga mat to class. Wear light clothes, as well. This could keep your body from retaining too much heat. You will be soaked in sweat by the end of the routine! Only don't forget water for afterwards, as you will need to restore your fluid levels! Dehydration is not your friend.

Long Islanders, come to Sole Pilates and Yoga if you're ready for the best Long Island hot yoga classes! We will leave you sweating and satisfied!

Don't forget that towel! And really don't forget those fluids!
