Hot Yoga Studios in Indianapolis

“`html

Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment after a workout that leaves you drenched in sweat. While a 10-mile run in the summer heat can certainly do the trick, you can achieve an equally intense and detoxifying sweat in just an hour with a hot yoga class.

Hot yoga is practiced in a room heated to between 85 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the class type and studio. The heat helps the body to stretch more deeply into poses and promotes sweating, which can help to cleanse the body.

Not all yoga studios offer hot yoga classes, but here are eight places in the Indianapolis area that do:
