Hot yoga as an important part of yoga, is getting popular in recent years. Compared to the traditional yoga at room temperature, in 38oC high temperature environments, hot yoga can do even greater range of motion and stretch. By twisting, bending, stretching and strength of the static exercise, hot yoga directly stimulates the nerve and muscle systems and thus helps lose weight, improve body flexibility and adjusting the spine morphology. In hot yoga are able to relieve insomnia, back pain, cervical spondylosis, migraine headaches, gastrointestinal diseases, for the young white-collar workers and movie stars.

Experiment, bone mineral content and bone mineral density did not change, that can not use this exercise to build strong bones.2. Hot yoga on the body shape of the indicators have improved, weight loss, increase flexibility and improve spinal function has a significant role, but the effect and no significant difference compared to room temperature yoga.3. Hot yoga on the physical function of the indicators have improved significantly, you can increase vital capacity and maximum oxygen uptake, and enhance the body's heart and lung function; lower resting heart rate and improve the level experimental index, enhance the human cardiovascular function.
