# Infrared Yoga Studios Poe Yoga's Hot Yoga Classes Offer Clean Heat with FAR Infrared Heating By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-06-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-yoga-classes References: [wellandgood](http://www.wellandgood.com/good-sweat/poe-yoga-studio-expanding/?utm_campaign=socialflowtwitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social) & [poeyoga](http://poeyoga.com/) Most hot yoga classes are operated in studios that use forced hot air systems to deliver heat, which is the same technology that's used in many [sweat-inducing saunas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akari-sauna-greenpoint). As an alternative to this, Poe Yoga uses FAR infrared heating panels to deliver a cleaner heat. The FAR infrared heating panels are combined with an oxygen purification system and a humidifier that keeps the air quality in the studio high and steam-free. While the rooms used for hot yoga classes are heated to 104 degrees, practices feel less sticky and more airy as a result, giving people much more space to breathe without feeling suffocated. Types of classes that are offered through Poe Yoga include vinyasa flow and Bikram-style yoga, as well as [boxing, cycling and barre](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweat-and-tonics). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **FAR Infrared Heating:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of FAR infrared heating panels in various industries such as spas, gyms, and wellness centers to offer cleaner and more comfortable heat. - **High Air Quality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop air purification and humidification systems for yoga studios, fitness centers, and sports facilities to enhance air quality and create a more comfortable environment. - **Diversified Fitness Classes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce a variety of fitness classes that go beyond traditional hot yoga, such as boxing, cycling, and barre, to attract a broader range of customers and meet evolving fitness trends. ### Where This Applies - **Spas:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate FAR infrared heating panels and oxygen purification systems into spa treatments for a more relaxing and rejuvenating experience. - **Gyms:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate FAR infrared heating panels into gym facilities to enhance workout experiences and appeal to customers seeking cleaner heat. - **Wellness Centers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement FAR infrared heating panels and high-quality air systems in wellness centers to create a therapeutic and comfortable environment for various wellness practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Calming Candlelit Pilates Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaybird-yorkville.md) - [Infrared Home Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peak-sauna.md) - [Hot Yoga Hydration Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modo-yoga.md) - [At-Home Heat Therapy Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heatpod-sauna-blanket.md) - [Ice-Powered Fitness Classes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-coolest-class.md) - [Chic Contemporary Fitness Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-fitness-studio.md) - [Heat-Reactive Yoga Mats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aurora-colorchanging-yoga-mat.md) - [Scientifically Informed Yoga Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-mills-yoga.md) - [Home-Friendly Sauna Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-home-infrared-sauna-blanket.md)
