Bikram Yoga also known as ‘Hot yoga’, is generally practiced in a hot (38 ºC with 40% humidity) humid room. It consists of 26 postures and two breathing exercises done twice in a row. The theory behind the heat, humidity, and consistency is that it lessens the risk of injury while allowing for better achievement of poses. Bikram yoga can be used both as preventative medicine and also for reducing symptoms of chronic physical injury, as the heat helps to improve much needed blood flow around and through the injury site.
