Hot yoga, also known as Bikram Yoga, is exactly what it sounds like. You perform a series of 26 postures and practiced in a room that is 104 °F and a humidity of 40%. Due to the heat and humidity involved with hot yoga, the calorie burning potential is through the roof. Most intermediate students burn between 600-1000 calories per session. Aside from the calorie burning power, hot yoga has a plethora of other health benefits as well. Increased strength, flexibility, mental clarity, and the release of toxins through sweat are just some of the amazing benefits that hot yoga has to offer.
