Hot or Not Yoga & Massage Studio

About Hot or Not Yoga & Massage Studio

Hot Yoga is a form of Yoga that originated in Calcutta, India. Traditional Yoga in the hot climate of Calcutta evolved into Hot Yoga, which is practiced today at our Hampton Roads Hot Yoga Studio. The room is intentionally heated to 100 degrees, recreating these conditions which help to relax the muscles. The postures (or asanas) are very unique to these methods and focus on compressing the internal organs, forcing fresh blood and oxygen to those areas. There are distinct alignment differences between hot yoga postures and similar postures that other yoga styles teach. The body and mind benefit through processes of detoxification, stimulation, and rejuvenation.
