Zen Hot Yoga & Spa, Sherwood, Queensland

ZEN HOT YOGA was founded by Alexandra and Barbara, but the inspiration came from Barbara’s health issues. All her life Barbara had been struggling with her weight, and chemical sensitivity. In 1999 Barbara became so sick that she was barely able to walk before she was diagnosed with celiac in 2000. Unable to do her exercise routine, she tried yoga with little success.
One day, while being in the sauna she tried yoga there. As Barbara held her yoga poses in the heat, she found the heat decreased pain and increased her flexibility. But the intense heat often made her dizzy.
On a mission to rectify her health, Barbara read much about medical research and found out that toxins from food or the environment contribute highly to auto immune diseases, lower immunity and energy levels, premature ageing, infertility, depression, insomnia, slower metabolism, and many other conditions.

How yoga help your other exercises including gym
Increases Flexibility and Range of Motion
Regular yoga practice makes the spine more flexible and muscles more supple—something all athletes need. What’s more, it increases flexibility, strengthens and lengthens the whole body, increases range of motion, and releases the joints.
Improves Your athletic Ability
Many yoga poses build core strength. The poses in conjunction with movements are an excellent type of resistance training that benefits every athlete.
Improves Your Ability to Focus
Yoga improves focus and mental clarity.
“You won’t get as much from sports if your mind isn’t clear,” says Davidge.
Corrects Imbalances in the Body Caused by Training
Training of any kind is repetitive by nature. This can create imbalances; some muscle groups are strengthened, but others are ignored. Yoga can fix these imbalances.”
Relieve Chronic Aches and Pains That Often Accompany Regular Training
As a result, you have less pain and more agility and mobility,
which allows you to react more efficiently.
Stay in the Game
Whether you run, cycle, or kick box “regular yoga practice may allow you to do what you love for the rest of your life.”
