What is Infrared Mat Pilates? A Warm Welcome to a Deeper Practice

You may have heard the buzz about Infrared Mat Pilates, the latest wellness wave sweeping through London. But what exactly is it, and what makes it so special? Let’s explore this warm and wonderful practice.

So, What’s the Deal with Infrared?

Infrared heat is a gentle, radiant heat that warms your body directly, rather than the air around you. Think of the feeling of the sun on your skin – that’s infrared. In our studio, we use state-of-the-art infrared panels to create a comfortably warm environment for our Mat Pilates classes.

This isn’t the intense, humid heat of a hot yoga class. It’s a dry, therapeutic warmth that feels incredibly natural and soothing.

The Benefits of a Heated Pilates Practice

So, why add heat to Pilates? The benefits are both immediate and long-lasting.

1. Deeper Stretches, Greater Flexibility

The infrared heat gently warms your muscles, allowing you to sink deeper into stretches and improve your flexibility more effectively than in a regular class.

2. Enhanced Detoxification

The warmth increases your circulation and encourages your body to sweat, which is a natural way to detoxify and cleanse your system. You’ll leave class with a healthy glow.

3. Accelerated Muscle Recovery

The deep-penetrating heat helps to soothe sore muscles and reduce inflammation, making it a perfect complement to your other fitness activities.

4. A More Mindful Experience

The enveloping warmth helps to quiet the mind and deepen your focus, allowing you to connect more profoundly with your body and your breath.
