Is this related to Bikram “hot yoga”?
Not at all. That’s from a different planet. We develop the heat internally via challenging poses, vinyasas, ujjayi breathing and bandhas rather than turning up the thermostat. The Bikram yoga series is not a flow practice, at least not as we understand the word in the ashtanga tradition. The Bikram series of 26 poses is good in a number of ways but we like to do a wider variety of poses, include upper body work and inversions, and teach yoga as a meditative tradition rather than just exercise.
