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.

On the surface it may appear that yoga is yoga is yoga, but take a closer look and you’ll discover myriad different yoga systems and lineages. There are dozens of yoga styles to choose from, and while yoga is for everyone, not every style is the perfect fit for every person. But how do you choose between mysterious-sounding names such as Ashtanga, Kundalini, Bikram, and Kripalu? As Meagan McCrary discovered when she began exploring different classes, finding the right style is essential for establishing a steady yoga practice. Pick Your Yoga Practice is the first book to describe the most prominent yoga styles in depth, including teaching methodology, elements of practice, philosophical and spiritual underpinnings, class structure, physical exertion, and personal attention. Those new to yoga will discover they have options and can confidently attend a class of their choosing, while experienced practitioners will expand their understanding of the vast world of modern yoga, and perhaps find themselves venturing into new territory.
