Why Infrared Is Better for Hot Yoga & Pilates
Infrared heating transforms the studio experience by creating a consistent, radiant warmth that works with the body rather than against it. Unlike traditional convection systems that stir up air and uneven heat pockets, infrared heaters deliver deep, sun-like warmth that evenly surrounds every mat and reformer.
Even soothing warmth
Infrared heat directly warms the body and floor, maintaining stable class temperatures without noisy fans or hot-cold spots.
Enhances flexibility & reduces injury risk
Gentle, radiant heat loosens muscles faster, improving the range of motion during stretches and poses.
Supports detoxification & circulation
Deeper warmth encourages healthy sweating, helping flush toxins while improving oxygen flow.
Energy-efficient & eco-friendly
Up to 40–60% lower energy use than traditional systems, reducing both bills and carbon footprint.
Silent & maintenance-free
No moving parts, no air dust, no distractions — just pure, tranquil heat ideal for mindful practice.
Ceiling Panels vs Heater Bars (Which Should You Choose?)
When it comes to heating your yoga or Pilates studio, both infrared ceiling panels and infrared heater bars offer powerful, efficient warmth — but the right choice depends on your ceiling height, design preferences, and target class temperatures.

Infrared heating isn’t only about comfort — it’s about control.
Costs, Efficiency & Running Bills
Unlike convection systems that waste energy heating the air first, infrared warmth works directly on people and surfaces, meaning faster response times and significantly lower energy use during each class.
Every KIASA system is designed to maximise efficiency. Panels and heater bars convert over 98 % of the electricity into usable radiant heat, giving your studio immediate warmth without draughts or fan noise. Because there’s no air circulation, less heat is lost through ventilation — a major advantage in busy studios with constant door openings.
Smart controls take efficiency further. With SALUS, you can schedule sessions, pre-heat only the rooms you need, and track usage to keep costs predictable.
Studios switching to infrared typically report noticeable savings compared to conventional electric or air-based systems — though exact figures depend on insulation, ceiling height and usage patterns.
For an accurate estimate, our design team can calculate expected running costs and energy savings for your specific layout.

FAQ
Heating Method:
Infrared Heating
- Radiant Heat:
Infrared heaters work by emitting infrared radiation that heats objects, surfaces, and people directly, much like the warmth you feel from the sun. Rather than warming the air, infrared heating targets the physical elements in a space, creating a deeper, more consistent heat. - Natural Warmth: The heat feels more natural and gentle because it's absorbed by your skin and body, not just the air around you. This method is ideal for yoga and Pilates as it allows practitioners to warm up their muscles effectively without overheating or feeling stifled.
Traditional Heating:
- Convection Heat: Traditional heaters, such as forced air systems or electric heaters, primarily heat the air in a room. As the air is warmed, it circulates to distribute heat throughout the space.
- Uneven Heat Distribution: Since hot air rises, it can lead to uneven temperatures in the room. The top of the room might be much warmer, while the lower levels, where people are practicing yoga or Pilates, may remain cooler. This can make maintaining a consistent practice temperature challenging.
Yes, infrared heating is generally safe for all yoga and Pilates practices. Unlike traditional heating, infrared warms the body directly without overheating the air, providing gentle, consistent heat that enhances flexibility and muscle relaxation. It promotes a deeper sweat, aiding detoxification, and doesn’t circulate dust or allergens, making it ideal for practices that require deep breathing. However, as with any heated environment, practitioners should stay hydrated and listen to their bodies to avoid overheating, especially in hot yoga sessions.
Yes, infrared heating can help reduce studio operating costs. It is more energy-efficient than traditional heating methods because it heats objects and people directly, not the air. This focused heating results in faster warmth with less energy usage, reducing overall utility bills. Additionally, infrared systems require minimal maintenance and have longer lifespans, further lowering operational expenses for studios.
Infrared heating is easy to install, typically requiring wall or ceiling-mounted panels and heater bars that blend seamlessly into your studio space. While installation is straightforward, it's essential to have a qualified electrician handle the wiring and setup to ensure safety and proper functionality. Once installed, the system requires minimal maintenance, making it a convenient heating solution for studios.
