Do you do yoga? Have you done yoga? I had tried it but to be honest with you...I just didn't get it. Perhaps it was my addiction to rushing around and always having to be somewhere that kept getting in the way of my mind/body connection... In fact, my mind just kept telling my body to hurry up. So I decided to do some research on "hot yoga" since it really intrigued me. Doing yoga (which I didn't get) in a hot and humid environment (which I don't like) really seemed ridiculous. But through my research of bikram yoga (hot yoga), I was able to dive a lot deeper into what yoga is and what different types of yoga can do for the body and mind. It's all covered in this guide "What's So Hot About Hot Yoga?" There is information on: different bikram yoga posturess how many calories you can burn in a hot yoga class finding a hot yoga studio and the right yoga instructor which level of yoga class you should go to what to wear to a hot yoga session the health benefits of bikram yoga and so much more... It's true. This non-believer is becoming a student of yoga and may jump into a hot yoga studio very soon.

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). The room is heated to at least 100F (38C). The postures are easy to learn, and can be approached from any level of strength and flexibility. The theory is that when the body is cold it is difficult to move. Warmed up muscles make the body more pliable, so that you can achieve a deeper stretch. The heat also helps to flush out toxins and impurities. 'Stretching in the heat is actually very comfortable and I sensed my body opening up in a way it simply can't do at lower temperatures…In short, I am addicted.' Evening Standard, February 2000

Bikram, the "hot yoga" program, has been heating up the yoga world lately, and its founder probably has something to do with it: The outspoken, dramatic, and always controversial Bikram Choudhury has garnered a lot of attention with his version of hatha yoga that some yogis think unorthodox: In his classes, students are stuck in a room heated to at least 105 degrees doing a structured program of 26 asanas with a sergeant–like instructor––and they love it. Bikram Yoga will emulate that same energy. With his take–no–prisoners philosophy, Bikram describes how the program can reap great medical, physical, and spiritual benefits––the poses work out every part of the body, all of which can help alleviate many common ailments, from asthma to back pain. (Photographs will accompany each pose.) In addition, the book offers the best ways to incorporate eastern philosophy into a western lifestyle and tips on how yoga can cultivate "a union between body and spirit." Simply put, you don't have to meditate passively to reap the benefits of yoga.
