Is Bikram Yoga an aerobic workout?
Yes, absolutely! The word aerobic literally means “with oxygen” or “in the presence of oxygen”. Aerobic activity trains the heart, lungs and cardiovascular system to process and deliver oxygen more quickly and efficiently to every part of the body by elevating the heart rate during exercise to its target level. As the heart muscle becomes stronger and more efficient, a larger amount of blood can be pumped with each stroke. Fewer strokes are then required to rapidly transport oxygen to all parts of the body. You can derive these benefits from practicing Bikram yoga.
