Know not every Hot Yoga studio is the same.  An uncontrolled humidified and heated room can raise humidity and oxygen levels causing an unhealthy breathing environment.  The Studio South system purifies the air to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and odors.  Studio South has the healthiest and most carefully monitored environmental air quality available.  The system uses ultra violet light purification to ensure healthy air.  We also employ custom engineered environmental control systems to automatically both remove excess humidity when it's too high or add moisture when too dry.  When oxygen levels fall below normal, the system pulls in fresh air to regulate.
