At Pulse, every class is designed with purpose, precision, and energy. From heat-infused sculpting to mindful flow, we combine cutting-edge science, expert cueing, and intentional design to give you results that feel as good as they look. Our owners, trained in breathwork and mobility, guide every session with years of hands-on experience to ensure safety, performance, and transformation.

The Science of NIR Infrared Heat

Red Light Therapy got its start at NASA in the 1980s. Scientists were using it to grow plants in space when they noticed it had amazing effects on healing. Fast forward to today, and over 4,000 scientific studies have proven what those NASA scientists first discovered–red light really works.

Luma Wellness combines the core-strengthening and body-sculpting benefits of pilates and yoga with the therapeutic effects of red light. (Yes, the same red light you get at the med spa!) During your session, you'll exercise while bathed in soothing infrared light, creating a synergistic effect that enhances both your workout and recovery.

  • All hot classes use near-infrared (NIR) light embedded in our heating system. Benefits include:
    • Increased circulation: NIR light penetrates 2–3 inches to enhance oxygen delivery
    • Joint and tissue repair: stimulates collagen and reduces inflammation

  • Optimizes Sleep Quality

  • Improves mood + Hormone Function

    • Enhanced metabolic output: caloric burn is elevated by heat + resistance movements
    • Improved flexibility: warms muscles safely, reducing injury risk
    • Detoxification: promotes sweat-based removal of metabolic byproducts
