Bikram yoga is a sequence of 26 Hatha yoga postures and 2 breathing exercises practiced in a heated room to stretch and strengthen every muscle, tendon, ligament, gland, joint, and organ in the body.

The room is heated to 105°F to promote deep stretching, rapid detoxification, and increased heart rate for a cardiovascular workout.
