With the worldwide revival of heat and cold water experiences for health and rejuvenation, sauna and steam rooms take center stage in the spa and with good reason.

Demanding Ashtanga, power yoga or hot yoga sessions, many lasting for 90 minutes, challenge the cardiovascular system and stress muscles sufficiently to burn calories for hours after yoga class ends.’
