Hot Yoga
Hot Yoga is based on Bikram Yoga. Bikram yoga is a
system offering a series of 26 postures, designed to
restore vitality, heal, and help prevent a range of
common chronic ailments. It differs from traditional
yoga, as it performed in a heated room, equipped with
mirrors — hence the name hot yoga (which Bikram
himself does not use). |
