All of those specifics have lead to a subset of Yoga, simply called Hot Yoga that can have any number of variations to the Bikram program but are usually things like 60 minute classes, hard flooring, and sometimes a few degrees cooler.  |
Before there ever was a knockoff version Bikram yoga practitioners also referred to it as hot yoga. Whatever the knockoff versions do is irrelevant, real hot yoga is Bikram yoga...
