New Hot Yoga Studio FAR Exceeds The Competition
The Sports Club of West Bloomfield brings yet
another first to the area with its new FAR infrared
yoga studio, Power Emerge. Power Emerge
features a new, innovative heating system called
FAR infrared. The technology is currently being
used in a number of hospitals throughout the world
for prenatal incubators; in addition, the FAR system
is also one of the leading heating systems
for saunas and detoxification centers. It uses no
ultraviolet radiation whatsoever. Now, it is being
used in yoga studios with incredible results.
Our members are telling stories of long-
standing aches going away, improved
flexibility, and better skin tone. "The most
comfortable hot workout ever, and an all-
around feeling of well being that they
have never experienced before," says
Lauri Schwalb, Member Services Director
at the Sports Club of West Bloomfield.
Not to be confused with the typical
dry, forced hot air blowing on you, long-
wave heating is the same heating that
your body produces. The sun produces
heat in both the long and short wave
spectrum, but it is the long waves you
feel coming through your car window.
Long waves are incredibly efficient since
they don't heat the air. That's right, they
don't heat the air but, rather, the object.
So, the floor, walls and the human body
get heated to +100° F, but the air stays
a comfortable temperature.

Long-wave heating, also has a number
of health benefits, including deep heating
your muscles, increasing blood flow, which
has a stimulating effect instead of the
draining effect found in traditional hot

yoga rooms. Along with the comfortable,
amazing feeling of the heat is the detoxi-
fying effect due to its deep penetrating
long waves. You sweat from deep within.
