Why the Heat? (Hint: To bend anything, you must add heat!)
A.

* Heat allows for deep stretching because the muscles, fascia and connective tissue are more elastic.
* Warm temperatures allow for greater range of motion in the joints.
* Heat reduces chance of injury because muscles are warmed up.
* Stretching warm muscles burns fat more efficiently.
* Capillaries dialate, which increases oxygen flow to cells and promotes waste removal.
* Heat promote4s toxins to release from sweating through the body’s largest eliminative organ, the skin.

I understand the why.....
but I get warmed up doing the yoga itself, I don't have to increase the temp in the room.....
TO each their own.
