What is bikram yoga? what positive or negatives does it have compared to regular yoga?

Done in heat, so...: Many of my patients are big fans of Bikram yoga, one of many varieties of hatha yoga. Bikram yoga consists of 26 specific postures (asanas), but what distinguishes it is that it is done in a studio heated to at least 105 degrees.It's easier to stretch when your body is heated & people sweat more to detoxify.Good unless you don't like heat! see http://bikramyoga.Com/bikramyoga/about_bikram_yoga.Php.
