      What is hot yoga?

      “"Hot Yoga" was founded by Indian yoga master Bikram Choudhury and his wife. It has developed rapidly in the United States. American music superstar Madonna and NBA star Michael Jordan are all loyal fans of hot yoga. Hot yoga became very popular immediately after it was introduced to Hong Kong, and it officially landed in Beijing in 2005.

      “"Bikram Yoga" involves completing 26 fixed yoga postures in 60 minutes at a room temperature of around 40°C and a strict ventilation system. For yoga, a sport that emphasizes body stretching, the role of temperature cannot be ignored. Bikram Choudhury once gave a vivid metaphor for hot yoga: after heating a piece of steel, you can easily change its shape with a hammer, but the shape of unheated steel is extremely difficult to change. Therefore, the indoor temperature of 40°C can not only increase body temperature, but also accelerate blood circulation and soften muscles and bones that have become hardened due to lack of exercise. In this way, even a body that lacks exercise in daily life can more easily complete different stretching movements and is less likely to be injured. So hot yoga is very suitable for beginners or people who lack exercise for a long time.
