How to Incorporate Yoga into Your Hot Tub Experience

  |   Ownership   |   No comment

While you may already practice yoga, it can be done within a hot tub and has its own unique benefits. Hot tub yoga therapy is a practice anyone can take advantage of and provides wonders for reducing pain and improving your range of motion.

 

Hot Tub Yoga Benefits

 

A healthy lifestyle can be supplemented by using a hot tub. After all, hydrotherapy and hot tub meditation provide health benefits to everyone, including improved circulation and muscle recovery.

 

Hot tub yoga is excellent for beginners who may find it difficult to balance or stretch their muscles. The buoyancy of hot tubs makes balancing a breeze and maintaining your form easier. The heat from water warms up the muscles, suppresses pain, and comforts joints.

 

Yoga and spa use share many of the same benefits in many ways. Both can lower blood pressure and help with insomnia while treating lower back pain and arthritis. Hot tub yoga can be the perfect answer after a long day at work or when you need time to calm and ground yourself.

 

How to Perform Hot Tub Yoga

 

Hot tub yoga poses start from a place of comfort. Let go of all your worries, thoughts, and distractions. Imagine the water is washing away all your problems, and nothing can bother you while you’re in your spa. Become one with the water by:

 

Back Exercises

 

In the standing position, extend your arms out and keep your back straight. Slowly twist your torso to one side, pointing your arm further and further behind you until stretched but also comfortable. Keep your feet planted firmly. Return, facing forwards, and repeat the exercise on the other side.

 

Hamstring Exercise

 

While in the sitting position, extend your leg outwards. With an arm from the same side of the extended leg, try to reach your toes to the extent of your comfort. Hold for about 10 seconds, focusing on your breathing. Lower your leg and repeat with the other side of your body.

 

Glute Exercise

 

In the sitting position, bring your knees up to your chest and fold each hand under each knee. Slowly let your legs float to the water’s surface and extend further if possible. You should feel the tension in your glutes, and your knees should be held firmly against your chest. Hold this position for 10 seconds and bring your legs back down.

 

Shoulder Exercise

 

Place your left hand on your right shoulder and place your right hand on your left elbow. Hold your left elbow against your body gently with your right hand and raise your left arm upwards in a scooping motion. Hold this position for about 5 to 10 seconds and repeat with the other side.

 

Another exercise is to reach one of your hands above your head and behind your back, as though you’re trying to feel down the length of your neck and spine. Using your other free hand, hold the elbow of the stretching hand and lean slowly towards the freehand. Hold this position for 5 seconds and repeat with the other side.

 

Chest Exercise

 

In the standing position, extend both arms out and behind you slightly as though you’re about to wrap someone in a big hug. Raise both arms at the same time behind you slowly. Imagine a wall behind you, and the back of both hands are touching the wall as they rise. Raise both arms as high as possible, or until both hands touch.

 

These hot tub yoga exercises are a great way to warm up each joint and muscle. Your body should feel limber, loose, and relaxed by the end of a session. Hot tub yoga is for everyone and can be used regularly as a pre-workout stretch. It can also be a good idea to use a hot tub before or after yoga if you would prefer to do yoga on dry ground.

 

With a quick hop in a spa, you’ll be ready for anything.

 

Upgrade your Experience

If you are looking for more space to do hot tub yoga, you can look to purchase a swim spa. Swim spas are versatile and can help anyone get or stay in shape. Doing an entire yoga routine can be easily done in a swim spa. You can also do other exercises like swimming, running, and resistance training.

 

Whether you use a hot tub or a swim spa, doing yoga would bring you strength and relief.
