Also, is it okay to do Bikram in a semi-warm room opposed to it being really hot. I know you probably won%26#039;t get the benefits of sweating as much and releasing as much toxins, but is it okay for this type of yoga?|||It sounds like you don%26#039;t have a studio in your area. I%26#039;ve been doing bikram yoga for 3.5 years, and have my own opinion about the heat. I believe that the heat should enhance your practice rather than hinder it. When the room is a nice 104 like it should be it%26#039;s lovely. When it gets to about 50% humidity and feels much hotter it can be cumbersome. Then again, I%26quot;m not a size zero. So, in my opinion as long as the room is warm you%26#039;ll be fine. Unlike Ashtanga, Bikram doesn%26#039;t create as much heat internally so you might want to go for a run first or wear warm clothing as you practice in a cooler room.
Breathing should be a 6-second inhale followed by a 6-second exhale. For the belly down postures they recommend what they call 80-20 breathing. Inhale completely, then exhale 20%, inhale 20% and keep using the top 20% of the lung capacity. You%26#039;ll find a lot of questions answered on www.bikramyoga.com
