+ What is Infrared Heat?
Infrared heaters convert light directly to heat, warming nearby objects without raising the air temperature. This allows a student in an infrared class to absorb heat while the surrounding air does not. This type of heat is most like natural sunlight. In fact, 80% of the light that makes it to Earth is infrared, making it a form of light that is easily processed by our bodies. Since the air itself does not get hot with infrared heat, it is suitable and tolerable for students especially those with respiratory issues who find it uncomfortable or even risky to go in a heated yoga class. Additionally, infrared heat does not recirculate air thereby reducing the circulation of dirty air and bacteria.
+ How Does It Work?
Infrared heat differs greatly from, say, a heater that heats the air in a room, because it gets absorbed by the skin and has a greater effect on increased circulation, muscle flexibility and detoxification. As your body absorbs infrared waves, molecules begin to vibrate, causing them to expel the fat and impurities from your cells into your blood stream. These toxins will then be released from your body in the form of sweat. The result is an incredible cleansing effect at a cellular level.
+ Is It Safe?
This form of heat is perfectly safe. Hospitals use infrared heat to keep premature babies warm. The heat is a product of a completely safe spectrum of light that is invisible to our eyes. Just as the sun has been heating people here on earth for thousands of years, the heater radiates sun-like warmth to our indoor space.
