If you thought you were getting a decent work-out from your regular yoga class, just wait until you try bikram yoga. This intense variation is performed in a heated room (typically around 40 degrees, with 40 per cent humidity), which is said to aid deeper stretching while reducing tension. Classes run for ninety minutes.
