Our far infrared (FIR) heating system enhances the benefits of many classes we offer. This therapeutic heating method promotes physical and subtle body healing by stimulating your immune and lymphatic systems, gently heats your body to aid flexibility and mobility, and quickly triggers your body’s sweat response for a safer, more effective heated workout. Full Circle is the only studio in the Williamsburg area offering this state-of the-art heating system. Take a look at the benefits in detail below, then step into the Circle to experience the power of FIR heat for yourself. You’ll be hooked!
Increased flexibility
Because infrared heat directly warms your body’s mass as opposed to heating the air around you, FIR heat provides a penetrating therapeutic heat which is more consistent and beneficial to your health than traditional forced-air systems. In a study conducted by Auburn University comparing FIR’s effects on flexibility vs. the effects of stretching in a forced-air environment, researchers concluded participants were able to stretch more comfortably in the infrared environment than in the traditional forced-air environment. FIR will allow you to open up, melt safely into the poses and gain confidence in your yoga practice.
Increased circulation
FIR heat has been shown to stimulate blood flow by opening the body’s capillaries. This has an incredible affect on the body and offers a variety of benefits. It has been shown to lower blood pressure, oxygenate the organs and rid the body of toxins.
Pain Relief
Infrared heat penetrates the body’s tissues resulting in increased circulation and oxygenation. The gentle heat of the far infrared spectrum provides soothing warmth with sustained pain relief. FIR heat has been shown in studies to provide long term pain mitigation and relief for both minor injuries and chronic ailments.
Detoxification
Simply put, far infrared heat will make you sweat. Which is a good thing because sweating is one of the body’s natural ways of flushing toxins. As our bodies absorb infrared heat, water molecules begin to vibrate, which causes them to wring out impurities from the ells and expel them into the blood. These impurities will then be released from your body as you sweat, creating a deep, detoxifying cleanse on a cellular level.
