Why Infrared Heat Changes Everything About Your Practice
Inside the science of far-infrared heat—and why we built our studio around it.
At GoodGood Yoga, everything we do is designed to support your body from the inside out. That’s why our studio is heated exclusively with far-infrared panels—the same cutting-edge technology used in wellness clinics, recovery centers, and luxury infrared saunas around the world.
This isn’t your average hot yoga heat. This is radiant, intelligent heat—and it’s doing far more than helping you break a sweat.
What is Far-Infrared Heat?
Far-infrared (FIR) heat is a form of invisible light energy that penetrates up to 4cm beneath the skin’s surface, reaching the fourth layer of skin—the dermis. That’s much deeper than traditional heaters, which only warm the air around you.
Rather than creating a hot, humid environment, FIR heat works with your body by warming your muscles, joints, and connective tissue directly—activating internal systems without exhausting your nervous system.
The Benefits of FIR (Backed by Science):
-
This depth of heat stimulates your lymphatic system and increases cellular metabolism, helping flush out heavy metals, lactic acid, and toxins through a clean, therapeutic sweat.
-
FIR has been shown in clinical studies to reduce inflammation in joints and muscles, making it highly effective for anyone recovering from injury, experiencing chronic stiffness, or managing conditions like arthritis.
-
The deep warmth expands capillaries and encourages oxygen-rich blood flow throughout the body—improving muscle recovery, boosting immunity, and enhancing skin health.
-
Because the heat penetrates deeper into the tissues (instead of just warming the surface), you’re able to move more fluidly with less risk of overstretching or strain.
-
Unlike forced-air heat that can leave you depleted, infrared activates the parasympathetic nervous system—the state your body needs to truly restore. You leave class feeling light, not wiped out.
Used in Wellness & Medicine
Far-infrared technology is widely used in sports medicine and physiotherapy to support pain relief and speed up muscle recovery. It's also found in cardiovascular health protocols, where it helps simulate the effects of mild cardio to gently support blood pressure. High-end wellness clinics rely on it for detoxification and skin therapies—and we’ve brought that same level of care into the heart of every class at GoodGood Yoga.

Why does this matter in practice? In an infrared-heated class, you’ll feel looser and more mobile from the very first pose. The warmth helps you move more deeply and mindfully, creating a flow that feels grounded and focused. You’ll sweat more effectively—without the heavy fatigue that often follows traditional heated workouts. The air is clean and breathable (no fans, no recycled air, no humidity), and you’ll leave class with a lasting glow that goes far beyond temporary heat.
This is more than warmth—it’s an intelligent tool for deeper wellness. A foundation for your strongest, most connected practice.
