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
Most hot yoga studios aim for 32–40°C, and Pilates spaces typically run 24–28°C. Infrared panels heat the body and surfaces directly, so studios reach the target “felt temperature” faster and with less energy.
Yes — infrared has no fumes, no noise, no moving parts, and no dust circulation. It’s fully safe indoors and supports improved flexibility and reduced injury risk.
Absolutely. Ceiling mounting gives even heat coverage, keeps the panels out of reach, and frees up wall space for mirrors, reformers, Pilates towers, or props.
Yes — infrared warms muscles directly, helping students reach flexibility safely and reducing the risk of strains.
Teachers normally comment on:
- Faster room warm-up
- No “cold corners”
- No noisy fans
- Less humidity build-up
- Better class comfort overall
- Panels → Aesthetic, ceiling-flush, silent, ideal for Pilates & ambient heat.
- Bars → Higher intensity, perfect for hot yoga, sweat classes or high ceilings.
Yes. Using our smart thermostats or Wi-Fi systems, each studio — hot yoga, reformer, physio room — can be set on its own temperature schedule.
Running costs vary, but studio owners typically save 30–60% compared to convection heaters, thanks to faster warm-up and body-direct heating.
No. No fans, filters, or moving parts. Just install, set your controls, and use.
Yes — they work extremely well with solar PV, enabling low-carbon, low-cost heating for studios.
