British Fervor for Infrared Pilates Studio YOURS Intensifies as it Debuts in the UK - I Partook in a Class and Was Astonished by the Exertion
In the heart of Hackney Wick, London, a new fitness trend is taking the city by storm – Infrared Pilates. YOURS, the latest addition to the Infrared Pilates studio scene, offers a unique blend of traditional and contemporary Pilates movements, enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of infrared heat.
Infrared Pilates promises deeper muscle activation, faster recovery, and improved flexibility, mobility, and longevity. The infrared heat penetrates deep into muscles and joints, making every movement count. This heat also increases calorie burn, as the body works harder to keep itself cool during the workout.
The studio space at YOURS is industrial with luxury details, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. With enough space between the 21 mats, each participant has ample room to move and perform the exercises with ease.
The Infrared Pilates class at YOURS is tough but accessible, with moves being simple and easy to follow. The class is not recommended for days when one wants a gentle stretch or a classical Pilates flow. Instead, it provides an intense workout that calms the nervous system, keeping the body calm despite the intensity.
Infrared Pilates is suitable for people of all fitness levels, with modifications offered to accommodate different abilities. However, pregnant women should avoid this workout due to the raising of core body temperature. Those with cardiovascular conditions or low blood pressure should also consult their doctor before attempting Infrared Pilates.
Yours also offers three main classes: Hot Sculpt, Hot Pilates, and Hot Sculpt - Glutes and Abs. The Hot Sculpt class blends Pilates with strength training, providing a well-rounded workout.
Heat-based workouts, including infrared Pilates, have gone mainstream, with sauna sessions being used as social events by some brands. A 2018 study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings suggests that heat exposure could support cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, and enhance endurance and recovery.
Infrared Pilates is associated with reduced risk of injury and improved core strength, posture, and flexibility, just like regular Pilates. So, if you're looking for a challenging yet accessible workout that promises deep muscle activation and faster recovery, look no further than YOURS in Hackney Wick.
