Does hot yoga lose weight more than regular yoga?

Question: Many stars recommend hot yoga. Is hot yoga really more effective in weight loss than ordinary yoga?

Answer: This is a misunderstanding. Any yoga or even any exercise can lose weight as long as you persist in it for a period of time. Sweating is not the same as losing weight. Hot yoga has no special effect in losing weight. Maybe you will lose a little weight after you just finish practicing, because of water loss. Hot yoga originated in the United States. Initially, it was only because North America was colder than India's warm climate, and people's bodies were more stiff in the cold state, so the temperature was raised to 38 - 40 degrees Celsius during practice. But whether yoga should be practiced at artificial high temperatures has always been controversial in the yoga world.

For urban people who have few opportunities to sweat in air-conditioned rooms for a long time, hot yoga practice can make full use of the skin, the largest excretion system, to help detoxify. This is one of the reasons why many people feel relaxed after practicing hot yoga. But because hot yoga needs to be performed at high temperatures, people with weak physique or low blood pressure, high blood pressure, or diabetes need to practice carefully.
