my gym offers a hot yoga class once a week. Will i become acclimatized to the temperature?
if there is only once a week class? Or do you have to go every day to get used to it? There is another studio which has daily bikram classes but I’d like to try a few for free at my gym first.
I’m interested primarily for flexibility training.
If your primary interest is in flexibility training then any yoga is going to encourage flexibility, just do not over due it, listen to your body, only go as far as feels good to you.
As to hot yoga, I encourage you to try it out and feel for yourself, and from one teacher to another you can have quite a different feeling in class, depending on the poses they put into the class and how long you hold a pose or even the sequence of poses.
I do believe hot yoga to be trendy and probably the biggest reasons for yoga related injuries. I am not sure what to think about Dave’s comment about it being bad for the heart, I would have to see citations to uphold that.
You may never acclimatize to the heat and it may only take you mere moments to get use to the heat, listen to yourself, and make sure that you show up to class fully hydrated and drink plenty of water right after class as well.
Bikrams may very well be a rather different experience then the hot yoga at your gym.
Good luck in your journey.

Hot Yoga by Barnett, Marilyn Edition ILL, 0 $22.49 Yoga is many centuries old, but hot yoga, developed only in the 1960s, has already proven a beneficial and popular variation on the ancient art. Hot yoga-also known as Bikram, after its originator, Bikram Choudhury-is a method for working out in rooms heated up to 100 degrees, thus enhancing muscle suppleness and aiding body detoxifica-tion. This heavily illustrated book describes each of the 26 progressively more challeng-ing hot yoga postures. Aided by color photos, the author gives detailed instruction on all hot yoga poses, which she claims unite mind, body, and spirit when performed in rigor-ous but enjoyable workouts. Each pose is preceded by information on its specific bene-fits. Practitioners are advised to end each session with cool-down techniques that relax both mind and body. The book concludes with recommendations for hot yoga as treat-ment for complaints such as back pain, sports injuries, and stress. Hot yoga helps its practitioners explore their limits and enhance their physical and mental well-being. Ap-proximately 50 color photos and more than 100 line drawings. |
