Experience the Healing Power of Far Infrared Heat

At Ru Yoga & Fitness, we elevate your fitness journey with the nurturing, therapeutic embrace of far infrared heat - a gentle alternative to traditional heated yoga environments.

So, what makes far infrared different?

Unlike conventional heating systems that simply warm the air, far infrared uses radiant energy that gently penetrates deep into your muscles and tissues. This creates a soothing, restorative heat that enhances your practice without overwhelming your body.

What you'll love about far infrared

Comfortable, Radiant Warmth

Say goodbye to the stifling heat of standard hot yoga. Far infrared provides a soft, even warmth that supports your practice without overheating the space.

Deep Tissue
Benefits

The longer wavelengths of far infrared reach below the surface, helping to ease tension in muscles and joints while encouraging a deeper release and quicker recovery.

Enhanced
Detoxification

Far infrared heat stimulates circulation and encourages sweating, supporting the body’s natural detox process in a gentle, effective way.

Stress Reduction & Recovery

This therapeutic warmth helps calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery—perfect for restoring balance in both body and mind.

What exactly is far-infrared heat, and how is it different from a traditional hot-yoga heater?

Far-infrared (FIR) panels emit a gentle radiant energy that warms the body directly, much like standing in a patch of sunlight, rather than blasting hot air into the room. You’ll feel comfortably warm without the stuffy, humid “sauna” effect typical of conventional heaters.
What health or performance benefits can I expect from practicing in an infrared-heated room?

Students often report deeper muscle relaxation, faster recovery, improved circulation, enhanced calorie burn, and that coveted post-class glow. FIR warmth may also support detoxification by encouraging a richer, more cleansing sweat.
Is infrared heat safe for beginners, prenatal clients, or people with medical conditions?

For most healthy adults, yes. The heat is milder and more tolerable than traditional hot-yoga temperatures. If you’re pregnant, recovering from surgery, or managing a specific condition, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider first and letting us know so we can suggest the safest class option - or try one of our non-heated classes.
How warm does the studio get, and how should I prepare or hydrate before class?

We keep the room between 30–33 °C (86–92 °F), warm enough for therapeutic benefits, but never overwhelming. Arrive well-hydrated, bring a large water bottle, and consider adding electrolytes if you sweat heavily. A light snack 60–90 minutes beforehand is plenty.
Can infrared heat really support detox or weight-management goals, and how often should I attend to notice results?

Regular practice (2-3 infrared classes per week) can complement a balanced lifestyle by boosting circulation, encouraging calorie burn, and promoting a healthier sweat response. Consistency, paired with nourishing food and recovery, will deliver the best long-term benefits.
