Benefits Of Doing Yoga In A Hot Tub
The first benefit is pain relief. If your body is aching at particular points or you are experiencing fatigue, it is bound to be improved or relieved with regular hot tub yoga sessions. With an outdoor hot tub, you can even connect with nature in the process.
You can involve breathing exercises that help clear your mind and relax your body, while gently stretching your sore and tight muscles.
By stretching and opening up, you can release tension from the major joints, tendons, and ligaments that, in turn, can help to rid your body of the pain. Hot tub yoga can also help to increase your flexibility and tone your muscles, by improving your range of motion and challenging your balance.
