“A Place for Healing” at Namaste Yoga Studio.
Undoubtedly, when reading or hearing the words “Hot Yoga” a picture forms of what this means and looks like; Western culture has focused upon the physical fitness aspects and image portrayed in magazines mostly in relation to promoting a perception of health their product can bring into lives.
Without going into lots of science, heat breaks down the gel matrix found throughout your body, the “lubrication” of your joints and muscle sleeves so they glide over each other without frictions and releasing you to move freely into your asana practice. This lubrication happens with very little added heat, making extreme temps a personal choice and preference. Like butter melting on a hot day.
Hot Yoga…is nothing more than doing yoga in a heated room.
A one degreerise in body temperature will 
begin to kill bacteria and viruses. It’s akin to Lord of the Rings Return of the King when the dead army swarmed across the orcs laying waste. Postures in heated yoga encourage movement of fluids, releasing the river 
and washing away the bodies. Nearest exit point? Your skin/pores through sweat. It’s not a pretty image, but it’s truly an accurate one. The Garden Room temperatures are adjusted according to the weather outside, here in Vegas, for optimum health benefits.
Humidity activates the skin organ. This means the skin, which is very thick over most of our body, becomes LOADED with blood and lymph, pushing waste products out, bringing fresh oxygen to the brain and organs, moving fluids at an increased rate throughout the body as a whole.
Once the skin has been activated, the poses are designed around encouraging this normal cleaning process. Humidity is an excellent piece to add into a yoga practice in Vegas, as the moisture will nourish nasal passages and lungs, helping your body in dealing with dehydration during the summer months of Yoga in Las Vegas. You can reduce nosebleeds and nasal cracking by spending time in a humid environment, especially when doing pranayama practices.
