What are the benefits of hot yoga?

What are the benefits or cons of doing hot yoga (bikram yoga) verses regular yoga?

Answer
Theoretically, the heat helps your circulation and your movements are more comfortable. Also, some believe the heat and sweating will allow "toxins" to leave you body. And there are a few that practice hot yoga because it is a little more sensual and people are more scantily clad. The big down side of hot yoga is that it is usually more expensive because it is practiced in yoga-specific studios. The upside is that your instructors are very skilled and the classes are smaller. Also the studios are very well maintained and very clean (at a gym, you might be walking around barefoot where someone else was boxing, sweating, maybe even spitting). The postures you will do are very similar whether you do hot yoga or classic hatha yoga. Bikram yoga is a trademarked practice that is standardized in all studios that call themselves "Bikram." It is a specific set of 26 postures that you perform 2 times each over a 90 minute class. As you progress, you can do more difficult versions of the 26 poses.
