With the outdoor temperatures rising, hot yoga may seem less appealing. But in fact, there are many reasons not to put your hot yoga practice on hold.  Here, the owners of Modo Yoga NYC and Modo Yoga LA, share 10 reasons to keep up your hot yoga practice and rock Modo this summer.

1. ACCLIMATIZE YOUR BODY

A hot yoga practice will help your body get used to the hot and humid summer weather ... And you don't have to wear sunscreen in the hot room!
 
2. LIMBER UP
 
A hot yoga practice will help improve your flexibility and mobility for the sports you love (running, tennis, soccer…). Improve your game and endurance while decreasing your chance of injury!

3. BUFF UP
 
A hot yoga practice will help you burn calories, strengthen and tone your muscles so you can feel great and confident in your skin in the hot room ...and on the beach!
 
4. DETOXIFY
 
A hot yoga practice will help your body flush the toxins through sweat ...that's right, take a break from the patio and the poolside drinking and eating, and come get your sweat on!
 
5. DRINK MORE
 
Water of course ... a hot yoga practice will encourage you to drink more water throughout the day to stay hydrated. Drinking more water will help you lose weight, get healthier looking skin, regulate your body temperature and much more!

6. BREATHE
 
A hot yoga practice teaches you to take deeper and longer breaths and to breath properly in the hot room ... and off your mat when you are faced with stressful situations!
 
7. TREAT YOURSELF
 
Dedicate some of your summertime to YOU! Spend some quality time with yourself, focusing on your health needs and on YOU!
 
8. CHILL OUT
 
Summer sometimes means being on the go constantly. A hot yoga practice and a Modo studio environment is naturally calming and rejuvenating. It helps calm and balance the nervous system. This summer, you deserve to RELAX!
 
9. KEEP UP YOUR REGULAR PRACTICE
 
The benefits of a hot yoga practice are the same throughout the year, whatever the weather is like outside. SO make sure that you don't lose your range of motion and keep that amazing blissful feeling every day!
 
10. BE INSPIRED
 
The Modo Yoga community is full of vibrant, creative and passionate people. Put yourself in a room with that kind of greatness on a regular basis and see what happens. You're likely to change the world!
