It is said that the goal of yoga is to train your body to find comfort in an uncomfortable position. Through a series of challenging poses, most student discover this art, but they also discover increased flexibility and healthier joints.
Another way to ensure healthier joints is to practice on a warm surface.
This doesn’t necessarily mean substituting a surface like hardwood flooring for something like carpet. Carpeting can be hard to keep clean, and could eventually turn into a bacteria breeding ground.
This also doesn't mean running a traditional HVAC system. HVAC will keep your room warm, but it will also create the sound of churning fans every time the system turns on.
For a completely silent way to heat your room, heated flooring is the ideal choice. This form of room heating provides a more balanced warmth, and it radiates upwards from the surface that your students are in direct contact with.
Floor heating mats, which install beneath your flooring surface, never rise higher than about 80 degrees, so they are a perfectly safe way to heat your room.
If you practice yoga on an outdoor patio or three seasons room, heating flooring may be your exclusive option. Easy Warm Floor’s M-Mat can be used as an outdoor heating solution for use beneath stone or concrete patios.
