When you first step into the Hot Yoga Republic studio, the experience will not be like that of any other hot yoga studio you have ever been to before. Our unique blend of heat + humidity will instantly make your skin turn rosy and your body sleek with sweat.

We are passionate about hot yoga, not as a gimmick or because we like to show how badass we are. We are passionate about the heat because, as you’ll see over a period of time, working out in an immaculate hot environment will transform everything about you, from your glowing youthful skin, to your newfound mood-boosting optimism, you will feel like you have tapped into some magical fountain of youth.

Hey, we’re not telling you this is going to be easy, but we are telling you it’s going to be worth it.

When you encounter regular Hot Yoga Republic members, you’ll notice something pretty quickly…that skin!

More and more research is coming out from esteemed universities such as Canada’s top research institution, McGill University, that sitting in a hot humid environment is great for your skin. (McGill is the Harvard of Canada, btw!)

It should come as no surprise that sitting in a blisteringly hot room, and sweating profusely, will produce changes in the body, and the first organ to be affected is your skin.

First, there’s the temperature of the skin, which rapidly goes up to 104ºF, with blood flow to the skin increasing dramatically.

Typically, only 5% to 10% of the blood the heart pumps ends up reaching the surface of your skin. In our sauna like studio, that number goes up to 50% to 70%, or seven liters of blood per minute being pumped to the surface of your skin!

Day-um! That glowing skin is not just your imagination!

The increased circulation means more nutrients are being delivered to the surface of your skin healing and repairing damage.

And fresh hot blood flow will make your skin glow with the rosier, healthier complexion associated with youth…as opposed to that grayish skin tone associated with poor circulation, a sedentary lifestyle and age!

Since opening our doors in March of 2021, many of our members report dramatic weight loss, while also experiencing an increased appetite for healthier, higher quality foods.

Additionally, you’ll consume copious amounts of water when you’re not in the hot room, helping to keep your internal functions rocking!

What the whaaaat?! Cardio fitness?! From hot yoga? Yes!

Check out what ultra marathoner Dean Karnazes, Coach Stephen Kerr and countless other super athletes have discovered…

Researchers have been looking at the effects of heat on athletic performance for decades, and their results have been consistently surprising. Studies have found that, in addition to an increased rate of perspiration, training in the heat can increase an athlete’s blood plasma volume (which leads to better cardiovascular fitness), reduce overall core temperature, reduce blood lactate, increase skeletal muscle force, and, counterintuitively, make a person train better in cold temperatures. In fact, heat acclimation may actually be more beneficial than altitude training in eliciting positive physiological adaptations, says Dr. Santiago Lorenzo, a professor of physiology at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and a former decathlete at the University of Oregon. “Heat acclimation provides more substantial environmental specific improvements in aerobic performance than altitude acclimation,” he says. And in contrast to the live low, train high philosophy, we more quickly adapt to heat stress than we do to hypoxia. In other words, heat training not only does a better job at increasing V02 max than altitude, but it also makes athletes better at withstanding a wider range of temperatures.

You might not realize it, but your daily workouts can have a profound effect on regulating your hormones that help your body function in all areas. Some key chemicals which are stimulated include Endorphins (natural painkillers), Dopamine (pleasure), and Serotonin (mood-stabilizer & joy).

And bee tee dubs, when you feel good, you tend to want to “share” that feeling… we’re all adults here, you know what we’re talking about.

We hear it ALL the time, “I’d love to try yoga…but I’m not flexible!” (Which makes about as much sense as saying “I’d love to try weight-lifting, but I’m not strong enough.”)

Contrary to popular belief, yoga is not about arriving with flexibility, it’s about finding a few extra millimeters of movement over a long period of time.

A looser, more fluid body as you age is your birthright.

Ask some of our clients who are 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and yes even 80 about how empowering it is to finally feel a little loose and agile!

The heat envelops your muscles for safe improvement of your flexibility.

Ask one of our members, a former pro ball player, what the greatest secret is to his scratch golf game? Yoga.

Trust us on this, not only will you feel like a teenager after spending time at Hot Yoga Republic, you’ll sleep like one too.
