Hot Yoga

Hot Yoga is a form of Yoga that originated in Calcutta, India. Traditional Yoga in the hot climate of Calcutta evolved into Hot Yoga, which is practiced today. The room is intentionally heated to re-create these conditions, helping to relax the muscles. The postures (or asana) are very unique to these methods and focus on compressing the internal organs, forcing fresh blood and oxygen to those areas. This benefits the mind and body through a process of detoxification, stimulation and rejuvenation. There are distinct alignment differences between hot yoga postures and similar postures that other yoga styles teach.
