Yoga Studios In Dubai

Hot Yoga usually takes place in a room which is heated up to a maximum of 40 degrees cen-tigrade (104 F) and this is the concept at the heart of the Yoga workout which is now sweep-ing the United Arab Emirates.
Hot Yoga was first developed by Bikram Choudrey who is the founder of ‘The Yoga College’ India, and became popular originally in the 1970’s . At the time it was called ‘Bikram Yoga’. ’Hot Yoga’ is an offshoot of  Bikram Yoga which utilises 26 Yoga poses. Since then many oth-er styles of Hot Yoga have developed, each with their own unique flavour, so classes can vary quite a bit.
As the name suggests the Yoga class is undertaken in extreme heat.

Benefits Of Hot Yoga 

Hot Yoga promotes sweating and fans say this can aide weight loss. Many believe that it helps their body to detox as you may sweat out toxins. Bikram Choudrey claims it is an excellent health booster which can help prevent many diseases of the body and promote long life.
As yet there is little scientific evidence to back up these claims, however Hot Yoga is popular with millions of people worldwide.

What To Expect?
