What:  Birkam yoga.

Technique:  Bikram yoga is often called “hot” yoga.  It’s performed in a heated room with temperatures ranging from 95 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit.  The style emphases a series of 26 postures designed to stretch the muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

Benefits:  It is thought that a heated room enables one to stretch further and promote sweating, which removes toxins from the body.

Cautions:  Of note, Bikram yoga is very intense, and not intended for everyone.  Consult your OB if you are pregnant.
