Hot yoga is rooted in centuries-old yogic tradition, yet this modern heated practice—often associated with Bikram yoga—emerged in the 1960s and has since become one of the most popular variations of classical yoga.
Practiced in rooms heated to approximately 100 degrees, hot yoga enhances muscle suppleness, promotes circulation, and supports detoxification through structured, disciplined sequencing.
