A little Green Fun at Hot Yoga on 17th

I've yet to be disappointed by a class at Hot Yoga on 17th. The teachers are fun, energetic, and great people: Elmira, Shaima, Caitlin, and Jilaine (just to name a few) rank among the top instructors in the city of Calgary. The classes are always buzzing with positive energy and people who are happy to be there. It only makes sense that such an admirable group of instructors would attract such an enthusiastic and fun group of students from Calgary. Hot Yoga on 17th is beyond just a studio; it's a studio that really cares. Their website includes parking tips for the students, which is absolutely great because 17th ave is a nightmare to park on. They are also an eco-aware space. Firstly, the studio has a 'HVAC' system. A 'HVAC' system allows fresh oxygen from outside to be brought into the studio at least 12 times per hour. In a studio heated to 105 degrees, 50% humidity, and packed full of 30 or so students sweating their weeks out onto their mats, it makes an immense difference to the air you are breathing in deeply through your ujjayi breathing. But it doesn't stop there. The studio walls are 100% natural, consisting of natural clay that help maintain a dense molecular structure and shape, giving it the capacity to produce a self-generated negative charge upon hydration. So...what does this matter to your yoga practice? Here's a little tidbit from the studio, "Negative ions are proven to produce positive biochemical reactions in humans. A negative charge in a space acts on our capacity to absorb and utilize oxygen, making us feel energized. Negative ions also increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our feelings of well-being." With an abnormal environment created in hot yoga studios (abnormal to Calgary that is), at Hot Yoga on 17th you can relax knowing you're practicing without potentially toxic heated substances whizzing past you.
