Are you in London, Michelle?
Bikram is huge here. My girlfriend goes to Bikram West in Kensal Green. I
have been down a few times, but I find it hellish. The smell of 1000 litres
of sweat baked into the carpet and the heat, that unbearable heat....
Anyway.
It has done amazing things for many of the people I know who do it.
Regards
Jonathan

I'm glad you haven't given weight training the evil label yet!
Hot yoga is actually "Bikram yoga", done in a hot (105 deg F) room for more
sweating and easier stretching. Bikram yoga is a specific series of poses,
apparently (I'm still researching!)
I see somewhere in my googling that it is Hatha yoga.
www.bikramyoga.com
And from bikramyoganyc.com,
"Bikram yoga is a demanding, 26 pose (asana) series. This is conducted in a
heated room to warm up your whole body, and allows you to work deep into
your muscles, tendons and ligaments to change your body from the inside out.
Bikram yoga is a process that can reduce the symptoms of many chronic
diseases, and is an excellent preventative activity for parts of the body
that are healthy. The class is designed for all levels, first time students
and experienced practitioners alike. In time, you'll learn to focus your
mind and control your breath, leading you to work harder, deeper, and
calmer. As you improve this relationship you will realize the true meaning
of yoga: a union of the body, mind and spirit. Bikram yoga increases
flexibility, improves circulation and reduces stress, to provide and
infinite number of benefits."
