It is easy for anyone to equate sweating with detoxification. What is not so easily understood is detoxification based on muscle compression. When you flex your biceps doing curls, you are compressing your muscles and constricting blood flow. When you relax the flexion you can feel the flush of the constricted blood flow release. When this happens toxins are flushed out of the body!
The constant compression and release of an isometric workout is an excellent way to detoxify the body. When isometric muscle compression is combined with infrared heat, the detox process is supercharged!
Yoga uses isometrics in a sequence and places emphasis on breathing to further promote detox. According to shape.com, “The right yoga routine can also help you detox your body and mind. As you do these moves, use each inhale to lengthen and each exhale to wring yourself out like a sponge, getting rid of anything you no longer want or need.” http://www.shape.com/blogs/working-it-out/yoga-poses-detox-naturally
