Bikram yoga is also known as 'Hot Yoga' because it is performed in a room heated to 95 to 105 degrees. Developed by Bikram Choudhury, this style of yoga focuses on twenty-six postures, or asanas, which are performed in a set series that warms and stretches the muscles, ligaments and tendons in the order in which they should be stretched. Each yoga pose is performed twice and then held for a specific amount of time. A typical Bikram yoga session begins in Standing Postures then moves to the Backbends, Forward Bends, and Twists. At the end of the class, a special breath called Kapalabhati Breath is performed.
