Nothing on the walls. Every room on its own smart thermostat. Slim white PowerBoard panels on the ceiling warm people and everything in the room directly, instead of heating the air first. Supplied and installed across the UK.
Yoga and pilates studios have demanding heating requirements. The room must be warm and welcoming from the first arrival, yet silent enough for guided meditation and breathwork. For hot yoga the target is 27-32°C, warm enough to deepen the practice, but without the dry mouth, stuffy air and light-headedness that come from forced-air heating at the same temperature.
PowerBoard infrared panels solve this precisely. Radiant heat warms the practice mat and the practitioners on it directly, with no fan noise and no air movement to disturb savasana or quiet flow. The panels reach full output in under 10 minutes. A hot yoga room pre-heats to 30°C in 30 minutes, without running overnight. Smart thermostats sync with your class timetable, so every room is at the right temperature for every class, automatically.
750W panels above the mat deliver steady radiant heat at 27-32°C. Practitioners report better breath quality and less stuffiness compared with warm-air hot yoga systems.
No fans, no pumps, no hum. The studio is genuinely quiet enough for guided meditation, breathwork, and post-class relaxation.
Infrared does not blow air. Props stay in place, candle flames do not flicker, and practitioners are not disturbed by draughts during practice.
Hot yoga at 30°C, pilates at 21°C, and a reception at 19°C all run simultaneously on separate thermostats and timetables.
The 6:30am class arrives to a warm room without heating running overnight. Between classes, panels boost back to setpoint within minutes.
Smart thermostats sync with your booking system. Each room pre-heats before the first class and drops to setback automatically after the last.
27-32°C radiant heat feels noticeably more pleasant than the same temperature from forced hot air. Fewer complaints about dryness, stuffiness and headaches.
Members who arrive to a perfectly warm studio, start on time and experience class without heating disruptions rebook more reliably.
Panels run for each class instead of heating the studio all day, so you pay for the hours you teach.
Reclaim the space behind reception typically lost to a boiler or warm-air unit. PowerBoard mounts entirely overhead in each studio.
Recovery, breathwork, sound bath and treatment rooms are genuinely silent, no background hum, no compressor, no fan to disrupt the experience.
No annual gas safety, no warm-air filter changes, no fan-belt replacements. Just electricity and a 10-year product warranty.
Panel counts depend on practice type and target temperature. Hot yoga needs more panels than pilates; slow flow needs fewer than Bikram.
Yes, many serious hot yoga studios prefer it over warm-air. Radiant heat warms the mat and the practitioners directly at 27-32°C without the dryness and stuffiness of forced hot air. Practitioners typically report better breath quality and less light-headedness.
A hot yoga studio targeting 30°C typically pre-heats for 30 minutes before class from a standing start. For a standard 21°C pilates or flow studio, the panels reach full output in under 10 minutes, so schedule them to start a little before class.
No. Radiant heating does not dry the air the way fan-forced heating does. Humidity remains at the room's natural level, which most hot yoga teachers prefer over the drying effect of a warm-air system.
Yes. Each studio runs on its own thermostat and timetable. You can hold 30°C in the hot yoga room and 21°C in the pilates room next door at the same time, fully independently.
These run as separate zones. Reception and changing rooms typically use 250W ceiling panels at 21-22°C. Treatment and sound-bath rooms benefit particularly from infrared's complete silence.
