Oxfordshire (PRWEB UK) 20 December 2012

Euro Controls UK are selling hot yoga at home packages directly from their website. Customers can purchase specialist heaters and humidifiers that will create the correct environment needed to practice Hot Yoga, also known as Bikram Yoga. Bikram Choudhury created the concept of Bikram Yoga in the 1970s. 26 postures are performed in a room heated to 40 degrees Celsius. The postures are chosen specifically for the way they promote detoxification, stimulate vital organs and stretch muscles in a safe way. It’s thought that just one 90 minute session can burn up to 600 calories as well as promoting mental well-being. Hot Yoga has become increasingly popular in the UK in recent years and hot yoga studios have been cropping up in every city. According to the daily mail, hot yoga was the key to Team GB’s Olympic success.

Thanks to celebrity fans of hot yoga and plenty of special offers doing the rounds on daily deals sites, hot yoga has become one of the most popular forms of exercise in the UK. The hundreds of hot yoga studios around the major cities certainly don’t struggle to fill their classes, and the cost of attending a class certainly reflects this. Classes in London cost anything from £10 - £20 for a 90 minute instructor led group session. One of the trends for hot yoga is the “30 Day Challenge”. Bikram Choudhury has emphasised at his many teaching forums that hot yoga is only fully effective when practised every day. To encourage customers to visit class every day, most hot yoga studios offer a special incentive or wall of fame for those who manage to attend 30 classes in a row. Discounts are usually offered for monthly or even yearly packages but the cost of these packages can be unaffordable to the average person.

What Euro Controls UK are achieving with their new hot yoga at home equipment is a way for hot yoga devotees to practice hot yoga at home as often as they like without breaking the bank, rushing to class before or after work and sharing a rather fragrant studio with 20 other yogis. Setting up a home studio including the installation of high-tech infrared lamps which are intended to emulate the feeling given by natural heat from the sun, can cost as little as £400 which is already a huge saving on a yearly hot yoga studio pass which would cost in the region of £900 - £1000.

We think it’s a great opportunity’, says Tim Watts of Euro Controls UK. ‘People everywhere are starting to appreciate the health benefits that hot yoga can bring, and the provision of specialist heaters and humidifiers is something that we have great experience with. A move into the domestic market was the sensible next step, and we hope that everyone who enjoys the practice will be able to work with us to create their very own home studio’.

And who knows, with Brits becoming more and more entrepreneurial as the recession continues on, we may see hot yoga mini studios popping up across the nation.

Based in Oxfordshire and servicing the UK and Europe, Euro Controls UK Ltd focuses on the supply, installation and maintenance of adiabatic cooling, free cooling, air conditioning and infrared heating systems.

Hot Yoga At Your Health Club

Are health and fitness centres missing out on a golden opportunity?

I was surprised to find, when making calls yesterday to health and fitness centres, that most were unaware of the latest fitness craze: hot yoga!

I was astonished when I spoke to a fitness club manager of a well-known fitness franchise who said she'd never heard of hot yoga or Bikram before the call.

Poor market awareness, or are hot yoga studio owners keeping it all a secret?

Health and fitness clubs could potentially be losing members to this latest health and well being way of hot yoga.   All they need to do is provide a heated space, hire teachers capable of delivering a hot yoga class or and they can keep maintaining a solid membership base and generate high return on investment.

Hot yoga and Bikram style yoga seem to be very addictive for yogis, however health and fitness clubs are potentially missing a trick if they do not offer this kind of service amongst their fitness classes.

Some businesses and in particular old school health clubs offering the traditional format of yoga classes,  do not seem prepared to move forward with the current and latest fitness trend.  Why leave it so long until it's almost too late jump on the bandwagon of the new health and fitness movement - which is hot yoga right no..

Heating a hot yoga studio is fairly cost-effective and not too expensive even though you have lots of heat being pulled into the studio.  There are ways and means of making this type of class  and this type of offering cost effective, and at Euro Controls UK Ltd, we show our client exactly how much money will be spent based on business rates on electricity to run the heaters for a class (including heat up time).
.
Customers are always surprised to learn that actually running infrared heaters can be a very cheap way of keeping a room warm because of the radiant effect and the fact that the heaters can be run at a lower air temperature compared to a convector system. And what we have found is our clients can charge a premium for the hot yoga classes because it is a very exclusive form of exercise.
If you own a fitness studio or a private health club or even a large leisure facility I would like to ask you the question - why not add hot yoga to your class timetable, when there is such a great return on investment involved?

We will show you how to design and install regulate and maintain an effective hot yoga studio using the existing premise.

The Yoga Show 2012

The Yoga Show was a huge success for Euro Controls UK Ltd, and we have been so busy with site visits and helping design hot yoga studios, we realised we hadn't even put up any pictures of the show!

Stand C5 (our stand!) was buzzing over the three days of exhbiting and we got to say hello to a number of customers enjoying the benefits of infra red heating.

We really tried to get under the skin of our customers whilst at the show and to learn even more about what makes yogis tick.  We talked Bikram, hot yoga, vinyasa, swing yoga, hanging off wall type yoga, and a plethora of yoga terms that we are still getting our heads around.

All in all we had a great time showing off our new heaters and THE HOT BOX, and we are now cracking on with installations, upgrades and refurbishments of yoga studios.

The organisers of the show, Prime Impact, helped to make the day a smooth and successful event, and I'm pretty sure we'll back next year - this time with a bit of a suprise for visitors......watch this space!
