Beyond Hot Yoga — A Science-Backed 40-Pose Practice for Modern Bodies

Beyond Hot Yoga by Kyle Ferguson presents a holistic, anatomy-informed approach to hot yoga for the 21st century. This thoughtfully designed 40-pose sequence is built on modern understandings of movement, biomechanics, and the reality that every body is different.

Challenging the idea that all poses are appropriate for all practitioners, this book encourages a more intelligent, individualized approach to practice—making it ideal for serious students, teachers, and those exploring alternatives to traditional Bikram-style sequencing.
