Hot Yoga Handbook

The Hot Yoga Handbook will help you grow to love hot yoga and ultimately to fall more deeply in love with yourself. It is meant for anyone who practices hot yoga, from the complete beginner to the teacher in training. In fact, we like to think that our friends who enjoy room temperature yoga will find some useful tips here, too! This slender volume is packed with valuable information and advice that it would take you years to collect or figure out on your own. We have been very lucky living in New York City to be a part of a large hot yoga community and to study with many diverse, talented teachers. We wrote this book to make the collective wisdom of our community easily available to beginners and yogis in smaller communities. The book includes tips for beginners, sections on safety, alignment, and breath and gaze, and, finally, an extensive guide to the postures of the traditional hot yoga series. The guide features alignment tips, notes on how to distribute your weight, and the most likely ego temptation for each asana.
