What is hot yoga?

Hot yoga is a vigorous form of yoga performed in a heated studio, typically between 30°C and 32°C. The instructor will help you flow through the class and let your body adjust. 

The purpose of practising yoga in a heated room is to increase the heart rate for a more intense workout, and for the heat to allow muscles to loosen; less time will be needed for your body to warm up and to deepen every single pose.

The difference between hot yoga and regular yoga?

Striking different yoga poses in a heated room can give your heart, lungs and muscles a more challenging workout and burn more calories than doing the same poses at a lower temperature plus it allows you to deepen every pose in a completely safe environment.

Working out in a hot yoga studio helps also to reduce stiffness that the body accumulates during everyday life and during others workout, too.
