About Bikram Yoga poses
Bikram Yoga poses are part of Hot Yoga workout routine which is performed in heated Yoga studio. There are 26 different poses you can practice in Bikram Yoga. This exercise program was developed by Birkam Choudhury who is a controversial figure in the Yoga world due to his numerous trademark disputes with a number of Yoga studios. Although Bikram Yoga is sometimes referred to as Hot Yoga, not all Hot Yoga routines are Bikram Yoga routines. Vinyasa Yoga is sometimes also performed in heated studio and therefore considered to be a Hot Yoga routine.
