Hot yoga or Bikram yoga is a 90 minute moving meditation generally in a heated room. The heat helps your muscles stretch more then normal.
This 90 minute class includes a set sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises. Hot Yoga begins with pranayama deep breathing to oxygenate and energize the body. The Hot Yoga series will systematically massage and stimulate every muscle, gland, and organ. Each posture prepares the body for the next, allowing students to gain strength, flexibility, and balance. Hot Yoga is an excellent foundation for learning proper alignment and developing the concentration needed for meditation. Typically practiced in a heated room which is 105-110 degrees.
