HOT 60 - A 60 minute Hot Yoga Sequence

Posted on 2019-07-16


This sequence is taught in a similar way as a traditional Bikram yoga class. Same breathing, timing, and static hatha yoga holds. This hatha yoga sequence is preferably practiced in a heated room. If the timing is right 60 minutes is enough to complete this sequence. If you have another 15-30 minutes you can make two sets of cobra and fixed firm series and spend more time on wheel pose.
