200: Hot & Cold Therapy for Yoga Students


Listen Later

If you want to start an argument among yoga students, just

mention the phrase "hot yoga." Love it or hate it, Hot Yoga has
spread across the globe faster than any other style—and there are
solid health benefits that few people are aware of. As a yin to the
yang that is Hot Yoga, cold therapy and cryotherapy are now the new
new thing with ice baths and freezer chambers all over social
media.


But is heat really good for you? And what about cold? And why?


On this week's Yoga Talk Show, Lucas dives into some of the latest
research about the benefits and risks associated with heat and cold
therapy for yoga students.


MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: both heat and cold therapy can be dangerous and
even fatal. This is meant for informational purposes only and
should not be considered medical advice. Never practice heat or
cold therapy alone, and ideally practice under expert
