LoadingHot yoga runs in a room warmed to somewhere between 32 and 40 degrees, and the warmth is the whole idea: it loosens muscles and lifts your heart rate faster than a room-temperature class. Bikram is one fixed sequence within the hot yoga family. That heat load asks something of your body, so if you have a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, or you are pregnant, check with your GP before you book. On the day, drink plenty of water in the hours beforehand and bring a large towel, because you will sweat far more than in a normal class, and if you get lightheaded, start at the back near the door and tell the teacher. Victoria has the most studios offering it at 49, ahead of New South Wales on 35 and Queensland on 19, one of the few disciplines where Melbourne outnumbers Sydney, and you will find classes in Caringbah in Sydney, South Brisbane and the Melbourne suburb of Armadale. Find a studio by suburb and book straight with them.
