Originated in the 80’s and developed by Bikram Choudhury these is a type of ‘hatha’ yoga characterized by a set series of postures and breather exercises, performed in a room heated to a very high temperature.
Ok, I’ll admit it; I stole that directly from google definitions. So, from a more personal and honest perspective this all sounds like a hotflash with friends to me. But model and fitness guru Yendi Phillipps seem to enjoy itso let’s take closer look. Many –like myself- will opt to just call it hot yoga when breaking it down for the simpler man but the experts will disagree. So for the not so bendable ‘Hot yoga’ is any yoga exercise done in a heated environment while bikram is series of 26 postures, including two pranayama exercises, each of which is performed twice in a single 90-minute class. What does this mean? Well, it beats me, but it looks something like that below. Now let’s all attempt these moves on our own at noon outside on the hot concrete, DIY style.
No, but seriously I’m genuinely intrigued. Stay tuned, I may just fall down the heated trap hole of bikram to join Kerry-Ann Clarke, Yendi and friends in a intimate sweat fest.
