Bringing Adaptive Radiant Technology (ART) to a Yurt
7 Centers Yoga Arts Studio, the first yoga studio in Sedona, sought a way to elevate their students' experience, specifically in their yurt—a portable, rounded tent structure. Traditional HVAC systems often result in uneven heat and uncomfortable drafts, counteracting the peaceful nature of yoga. They needed a gentle, therapeutic, and sustainable heat source.
The Challenge: Installing in-floor heating in a non-traditional, circular, temporary structure like a yurt, and doing so underneath a carpet, was a unique request.
The Solution: WarmlyYours specialists designed a custom plan using their Environ™ Flex Rolls, which are perfectly suited for installation under floating floors and carpet. The project was the company's first yurt installation. The contractor and a professional electrician found the installation straightforward, noting how easily the mats laid and connected beneath the carpet.
The Outcome: The radiant floor warming system now provides therapeutic heat that is absorbed into the muscles, facilitating deep stretching and a detoxifying experience.2 As studio representative Katie Love stated, "It's incredible just how easy it was to install the radiant heat," highlighting the successful marriage of traditional yoga practice with modern, energy efficient heating technology.
