Since yoga was introduced from India, some minor misunderstandings are inevitable during the translation and dissemination process. There are many types of yoga, and there are many basic postures in each type. Many postures are similar, so it is inevitable for everyone to get confused. So do you know the difference between hot yoga and Bikram yoga? Let’s go take a look below!
There is no difference between hot yoga and hot yoga, just the names are different. Nowadays, there are many so-called flow yoga, hot yoga and other different branches. In fact, these are just different names of yoga, and their core is the same. But in my opinion, hot yoga is purely a way to make money.
What is Bikram Yoga
Bikram Yoga was founded by Indian yoga master Bikam Choudhury and his wife (some say Americans) on the basis of Hatha Yoga, a branch of yoga. Later it spread to Europe and America and became popular. In addition to improving previous yoga movements, hot yoga also requires the completion of 26 fixed yoga postures within 60 minutes with an indoor temperature of 38°C to 40°C and a strict ventilation system.
Benefits of Bikram Yoga
Because hot yoga can consume a lot of calories and expel a lot of sweat, hot yoga has the functions of losing weight, keeping fit, and detoxifying. Through unique chest and abdominal breathing, it can well regulate the endocrine system, help improve the body shape, and assist in the prevention and treatment of diseases. Different postures can fully exercise the central spine of the human body, stretch muscles, massage internal organs, lose weight and nourish the skin, eliminate tension and fatigue, thereby improving sleep, relieving stress, and restoring the smooth flow of all body functions. Finally achieve the harmonious unity of body, mind and spirit.
