About Hot Yoga
Hot yoga is practised in a heated room (typically 35-40°C / 95-105°F), which increases heart rate and perceived effort compared to standard yoga. A 155-pound person burns approximately 183.2 calories in 30 minutes. The heat enhances flexibility, promotes deeper stretching, and induces significant sweating.
Hot yoga improves cardiovascular fitness alongside the flexibility and strength benefits of standard yoga. Staying well-hydrated before, during, and after sessions is essential. Beginners should acclimatise gradually to the heat.
