Infrared Yoga: Well Flexed Chooses Infrared to Transform its Yoga Experience
Well Flexed, an infrared yoga and wellness studio in Bristol, installed Herschel infrared heating to create a comfortable, controllable and energy-efficient environment for its classes. Infrared yoga uses radiant heat to warm the people and surfaces within the studio directly, rather than relying primarily on heating and circulating large volumes of air. The result is a different kind of warmth – quiet, enveloping and ideally suited to the calm, considered environment of a yoga studio.
Their experience demonstrates why more and more hot yoga studios are choosing infrared heating as an alternative to conventional heating systems. Look inside and hear feedback firsthand on how infrared yoga delivers the perfect heated workout for enhanced wellness.
Infrared Yoga at Well Flexed
People are often looking to understand how infrared heated yoga differs from traditional hot yoga, why studios are fast adopting it and what the benefits of infrared yoga are for both studio owners and practitioners.
Having practised hot yoga internationally for many years, the owners of Well Flexed had already experienced infrared heating in other countries before opening their own studio. Their decision to install infrared heating was based on first-hand experience of studios overseas. The owners explain:
“We both practiced hot yoga around the world for years. I had noticed that in South Africa, Cape Town, and in America, they’d started using infrared in studios because of the extra health benefits it gets, the fact that it’s really kind of environmentally more efficient, less energy bills.”
Their experience abroad gave them confidence that infrared heating could deliver both an enjoyable practice environment for practitioners and practical operational benefits. The studio uses Herschel Power heaters, along with InfraSense®, to maintain the desired temperatures in the studio.
What is infrared yoga?
Infrared yoga combines yoga practice with infrared heating, which uses radiant heat rather than relying solely on warming the surrounding air. Infrared energy gently warms people and surfaces directly, providing a comfortable, more even radiant warmth. Infrared heating is chosen by many studios because it provides highly controllable room temperatures with a fast warm-up.
The Well Flexed Experience
For Well Flexed, the quality of the heat was immediately noticeable. The feeling of practising yoga with infrared heating also stood out.
“It feels like you’re standing under the sun. It makes you feel fantastic.”
The owners also shared positive feedback they have received from clients.
“Feedback from clients and from myself is it’s nice to know that you’re having getting the therapeutic benefits of infrared while you practice. It’s fantastic for inflammation and joint pain, stiffness. It’s good for autoimmune condition, skin health, hair health. A lot of clients seem to be sleeping better.”
Easy to Control Every Class
Running a successful yoga studio means having complete control over the teaching environment. Well Flexed found Herschel’s control system straightforward to use. Remote management has also simplified daily operations.
“Not only is it great heat, the interface is so user friendly. It’s great. We can control it remotely as well. You can sit out here or I can be at home and I can look at the temperature of the class.”
This allows the team to monitor and adjust heating before classes begin, helping to maintain a consistent environment for instructors and students. Well Flexed is the first infrared yoga studio that is using Herschel’s patented InfraSense® system for ultimate control. Contact the Herschel team for further information on InfraSense®.
