Challenge & Opportunity

The studio needed a performance heating solution that fits their brand aesthetic (chic, modern, industrial-lux) while delivering a true “infrared-heated” hot-class environment (35-38 °C) where participants feel direct warmth, not just hot air.

The “infrared Pilates” concept is marketed as heating your body from within — giving deeper flexibility, better circulation, more sweat, without the stifling humidity of conventional hot-rooms.

The challenge: integrate heaters that are silent, zero-glow, visually seamless, able to fit into the studio’s polished design, and capable of providing even coverage across the busy class studio with high ceilings and open space.

Key Highlights:

Solution Provided by KIASA Infrared Heating

YOURS Studio specified the KIASA IKON Infrared Heater Bar and our Yoga Balance panels throughout their heated class zones.

The IKON Bars are available in 2 kW, 2.6 kW and 3 kW wattages, meaning they can be tailored to different room sizes. The yoga
Designed for far-infrared radiant heat (heating people & surfaces rather than air) — ideal for hot Pilates studios.
Installation flexibility: wall, ceiling or suspended mount (the overhead or high placement helps when installing in high-ceiling class spaces).
Sleek finishes (black or beige) and slim profile mean the heaters blend into the stylish studio interior rather than detracting from it.
“Zero-light, silent operation” ensures the heating system doesn’t interfere with the boutique vibe of the studio.

Benefits & Key Features

For the Studio

Rapid warm-up and consistent temperature across the studio — supporting their class temperatures of ~35-38 °C.

Radiant IR heating allows the body to warm up from within, enhancing flexibility and muscle activation and aligning with the “infrared Pilates” marketing promise.

High aesthetic value: the heating bars serve function + form — silently delivering heat while fitting into a high-design environment (marble, industrial windows, lighting).

Smart/efficient operation: The IKON Bars support energy efficiency by heating targeted zones quickly rather than filling the whole air volume; good for operational cost control.

Visual brand reinforcement: The studio is featured in outlets like Marie Claire (“I tried it … wow, the burn”) and Evening Standard (“the first London studio with infrared Pilates on its schedule”).
