Doing yoga is all about pursuing peace, fitness, physical well-being, community solidarity and healthy living in general. None of these things requires you to sweat, yet for whatever reason hot yoga is the trend du jour.
For instance, a recent New York Times article reported on the "blistering temperatures" of certain yoga systems, which are intended to make practitioners perspire in buckets during an hour-long session.
The news source pinned the room temps in such studios at up to 114 degrees Fahrenheit, the equivalent of a scorching hot summer day in Qatar. Such roasting environments are not necessary for a good yoga and meditation session.
Medical experts told the newspaper that a good rule of thumb is to max out at 100 degrees F. "Above that, you're just jeopardizing safety," kinesiologist Douglas Casa of the University of Connecticut told the Times.
