Infrared Hot Yoga is one of the fasting growing fitness (and yoga!) styles and it’s no wonder why.
According to a new study, hot yoga can help treat depression. The study (conducted by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry) found that participants who take a heated yoga class at least once a week experience a 50% or greater reduction in depressive symptoms. After eight weeks, 44% of participants are considered to be in remission from depression and indicates that heated yoga could be a viable treatment option for patients with depression.
