Hot yoga, a full-body workout from the inside out, “head to toe/bones to skin,” is magnetically attractive to a culture where body image is equated with love, fame, and even happiness. People are flocking to the hot room by the thousands. From to classic 26 asana series to new inventive sequences answering our quest for physical beauty and health.

But like any yoga practice, there is more to hot yoga than meets the eye. Hot yoga originates from a spiritual lineage whose ultimate goal is self-realization. Promoted as a workout, your 90 or 60 minutes of sweat, breath, and stretch sculpt a razor-sharp mind and a burgeoning spiritual self.

“Yoga to break down walls between people and nations, men and women, east and west,” It's now an accepted truth that yoga unveiling our own power to heal broken bodies and minds.

Why not?

Practicing yoga in a ferociously heated/humidified room facilitates deeper stretch, detox, mental strength, and healing, for all levels.
